STL format which is growing in importance is usually used in Texture-Based Surface Finishing.
Minute! Powered By C3CAM supports not only NURBS Surface but STL. This article provides a summary of use of STL.
Notice of Creation:
- BINARY or ASCII
Don’t use BINARY format. Because the size of value is fixed to float. In huge work size and high precision machining, loss of digit may be happened. - Tolerance
Be careful below parameters:
* Maximum distance, edge to surface
* Maximum anglePlease refer to this help.Note: Rhinoceros has good Mesher and some usuful tools. We recommend the software as Mesher.
- Surface Quality
The trouble of “Nakid Edge” and “Non-Magnihold Edge” are often caused from Invalid Join and Merge between edegs.
Notice of Use:
- Optimization and Reduction
Don’t do optimization and reduction. Because the tolerance is changed.
