Hi, just a comment..

I get the impression that in industry .stl files are dismissed as 'for
prototyping' .
When I worked on a small cnc mill, however, .stl files were the easiest to
generate and move between programs. Also, for cutting fine detail on small
parts, I was using a 1mm bit with a 10u stepover. Repeatedly, the machining
scallop marks were visible before the 'triangles' were.
Admittedly, .stl files are a bit large compared to .iges, but who cares,
we're not limited to 640K anymore.(sarcasm)

So I think .stl are perfect for machining with. Any comments?

Regards
Roland Jollivet
