How to Make Accurate CAD to STL File Transitions
|
Most 3D CAD files can be converted easily to STL, but you won't get the prototype qualities that you expect if you don't set the correct conversion factors.
If you haven't tried making prototypes directly from your CAD files yet, you need to know how to prepare them for the transition. If you have made prototypes, then you know that the output based on your input may not always be what you expect to see. The output can vary from really nice to very bad, or it may not work at all. This is because RP machines accept only fine-tuned STL (Standard Tessellation Language) files. Regardless of the brand of resident 3D CAD you might have (one of the possible 50 to 100 available packages), all files must be converted to STL to work on stereolithography (SLA), selective laser sintering (SLS), and fused deposition (FDM) modeling machines.
