The ideal converter should offer flexibility in converting between all major proprietary and neutral formats, including the STL format, which is commonly required for 3D printing projects.

Various 3D printing software is available, and a good one should have the tools for creating 3D printable models, slicing, editing STL files, or repairing meshes.

Stereolithography (STL) is the standard file type for our 3D-printing software. A mesh resolution of 0.01 to 0.03 mm and a ≤0.016-mm chord length produce an optimal STL file.

The most common reason an STL file may be not quite right is a mechanical connection where some piece isn’t quite as the designer expected, so the 3D model that interfaces with it no longer fits.

Once you submit your 3D model file (.stl file) to us electronically, we will test it for potential printing problems, such as overhangs and joint issues. The consultant will then contact you with a ...

PrusaSlicer has a new feature: the ability to import a CAD model for 3D printing. Starting in version 2.5.0-beta1, PrusaSlicer can import STEP format 3D models. An imported STEP file is converted ...
