Ki kèk fòma dosye bon pou enprime 3D?

Enprimant 3D egzekite kòmandman gcode. Gcode kreye pa yon pwogram tranche. Fichye a antre pou slicer a se fòma dosye STL. Fichye STL yo kreye pa ekspòte soti nan fòma dosye natif natal lojisyèl CAD la.

CAD Native Format ---> Export to STL --->
Slicing software ---> gcode --->3D Printer

Aranjman sa a fè li difisil pou pataje ak modifye fichye enprimab 3D. Si mwen modèl yon bagay epi ou vle enprime li sou enprimant 3D ou a, anjeneral mwen ta voye yon dosye STL ba ou. Sa travay byen ase, sof si ou vle modifye konsepsyon mwen an. Lè sa a, ou ta bezwen dosye natif natal mwen an, ak lojisyèl CAD ki koresponn lan. Li posib pou edite fichye STL, men li pa bèl.

I agree with Joris. STL does the job, but it can stand some improvement. The units issue is particularly confusing. It is common to receive an STL file and discover it is as small as a pea, or large as a car (exaggerating a little!) because of unit confusion. ReplicatorG (commonly used with MakerBots) has big buttons to convert inches-->mm ak tounen ankò.
