Converting your part

Before you can open your part in MakerWare, you need to convert it from the

drawing file to the .STL file format. (See Appendix A)

.STL stands for Stereolithography, or Standard Tessellation Language. This

converts your part into a series of polygons, for this code, only triangles. Note

the inner diameter of the shape below, this can reduce the size of holes in your

part when printed and can be combatted by increasing the polygon count or

scaling up the hole to account for the conversion.

Part quality can be affected by the quality of the .STL file. If the printed part is

not as smooth or as precise as the model, increasing the quality of the .STL file

may fix this, however this will increase slicing time in MakerWare.
