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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
