This tutorial covers how to convert an STL to a STEP using FreeCAD. Note: Since STLs are meshes, the resulting model won't be as precise as parts originally made as solids. FreeCAD can export: - Step - Iges - Scad - Dxf - Dwg - Obj - Pdf And many others…

Convert STEP/IGES files to STL on Mac

We’ve added a translator on Workbench that allows users to download a CAD file in STEP, IGES and STL formats, regardless of the format it was uploaded in. This makes it easy to share models with partners who don’t use the same CAD system you do. With just one click your supplier can download any of the neutral formats based on the original file you uploaded.

In this informative video tutorial you will learn how to operate laser cutting machine using solidworks. In this video I am going to convert solidworks design file into DXF file and then I will import that dxf file in RD works which is basically a laser cutting machine's software, at the end i will also show how to connect your PC with laser cutting machine and finally I will cut a wall clock design in acrylic material on laser cutting machine. I hope this will be a very helpful laser cutting tutorial for you.
