The basis of a good 3D-printed component is the 3D CAD model. A 3D print is only as good as your 3D model. To process a 3D CAD model in our Eiger software, we need a derived STL file (STereoLithography, Standard Tessellation Language). Learn how to generate a perfect STL file from SOLIDWORK in our info sheet "The Perfect STL File [...]
