I figured out how to do what ya want in Blender'. Hit tab to go into edit mode. select all the faces (a key). On the side bar scroll down untill you find extrude individual. Hit the extrude button but don't move faces. Scoll down a bit and hit merge and select collapse on the menu it brings up. That should do it.
