STL Import for SolidWorks is an add-in for SolidWorks. This add-in gives SolidWorks the ability to significance graphical data from ASCII as fountainhead as binary Stereolithography (STL) files.
The STL file format has become the Rapid Prototyping industry's criterion data transmission format and is the format required to interact with stereolithography machines. This format approximates the surfaces of a unanimous model with triangles.
Stereolithography files moderate solids which are made up of 3 sided facets. STL Import for SolidWorks reads these triangular surfaces and knits them into a unanimous in a young SolidWorks voice document. If the attempt to entwine the surfaces into a unanimous succeeds, the unanimous appears as the base feature (named Imported1). If the surfaces comprise multiple closed volumes, then one voice is made for each closed volume. If the attempt to entwine the surfaces fails, the surfaces are grouped into one or more surface features (named Surface-Imported1, 2, ...).
STL Import for SolidWorks is very easy to utilise as it adds a young file type to the SolidWorks File Open dialog box. To significance a STL file select Open from the File menu. Select "Stereolithography Files (*.stl)" from the "File of type" combo box and select a STL file to significance. A young voice document will be created containing the imported STL file.
