aprasad Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I am working on a thesis based on Rapid Prototyping and when I export my sliced model as an STL file, I am unable to open the new STL file using AutoCAD2008. However I am able to open the file using SolidWorks 2008. I am confused. Should it open up in AutoCAD 2008 and if yes please give me the steps and if not then how else? Also what kind of data does a rapid prototyping machine read? Binary or ASCII??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 You can download an STL Importer plug-in for Autocad at Sycode.com. The download is a trial version that is good for 10 days. After that you will need to purchase it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
