How to convert a CAD file to an STL file?

GrabCAD Tutorials
in Design & CAD
2 1 Intermediate
STL is the standard file type used by most or all rapid prototyping systems. A STL is a triangulated representation of a 3D CAD model (figure 1). The triangulation of a surface will cause faceting of the 3D model. The parameters used for outputting a STL will affect how much faceting occurs (figure 2 and 3). You cannot build the model any better or smoother than the STL file, so if the STL is coarse and faceted, that is what you can expect in the final model. In the CAD package, when exporting to STL, you may see parameters for chord height, deviation, angle tolerance, or something similar. These are the parameters that affect the faceting of the STL.You don’t necessarily want to go too small. The finer the STL the larger the file is in size, which will affect processing time in Insight as well as build time. Below is some information found on the Internet regarding exporting to STL from various CAD packages.

AutoDesk Inventor Laser Cutting Tutorial - PVCC

Ben Casto

This is a simple tutorial to laser cut parts using Inventor. This method circumnavigates the need for Illustrator by enabling the user to 'print' their cut directly from a pdf viewer that enables vector graphics such as Adobe Acrobat. The tutorial was put together for use by Piedmont Virginia Community College (PVCC) students and staff but should work similarly with other setups.

We can draw the assembly and its components on the same drawing sheet. It is able to be applied by unchecking some component of assembly on drawing browser. We apply the balloons and the parts list table for drawing the assembly. We apply center mark, centerline, section view, and dimension for drawing the components.
