Adman234 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I have an assembly of a small box with added features that I made, and each side of the box is 8 inches in length. I want to 3D print the box, but I obviously do not want the box to be 8x8x8 when printed:) Is there a way to easily "scale down" the box so that it is 1x1x1 when measured in inventor? I am using inventor 2011 I tried searching but could not find anything, thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdits7 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 If I am reading this correct, you want to print this on a 3D printer. If that is the case go to the Inventor Menu in the upper left hand corner, go down to Print, go to Send to 3D Print Service, then a dialog box will pop up and there you can set the scale that you want it printed in. Pic to show dialog box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
