STL Export for Bricscad is a Stereolithography (.stl) file export plug-in for Bricscad®. This plug-in gives Bricscad the ability to export geometric data from Bricscad to ASCII and Binary STL files.

The STL file format is the Rapid Prototyping industry's standard data transmission format and is the format required to interact with stereolithography machines. Stereolithography files contain solids which are made up of 3 sided facets. STL Export for Bricscad reads mesh objects (PolyFace Mesh, Polygon mesh and 3D Faces) in the active drawing and writes them out to a STL file.

STL Export for Bricscad is very easy to use. Once installed, it must be loaded into the Bricscad environment. There are simple instructions for this in the ReadMe document which can be found in the installation folder. Once loaded it adds new commands to Bricscad's existing commands and a new submenu called "STLExport" to the Bricscad menu containing these newly added commands.

STL Export for Bricscad comes with detailed documentation as well as a tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time.
