System Requirements Below is the hardware, software and operating system requirements for ARES plug-ins running on the Microsoft Windows platform.
Download & Purchase Please download a fully functional trial of STL Import for ARES by
clicking on the "Download Now" button below. To start using the software, you need a license key. A license key can be of two types: Trial or Permanent. A trial key is issued to you instantly and completely free of cost so that you may try the software before you purchase a license. A permanent key is issued after you have purchased a license. We are confident that during the
trial period (10 days or runs, whichever is earlier) you will find STL Import for
ARES extremely useful. Later when you decide to buy the
software please return to this page and click the "Buy Now" button to place your
order. In the order process you will be asked to enter your Host ID that appears in the "SYCODE License Server" dialog box (which appears when you
run the "STLImport" command). We will create and send you your Key by e-mail
within one business day. To avoid disruption in your workflow we urge you to
place your order before the trial period ends.
IMPORTANT! Purchasing a Subscription is highly recommended since it the most cost effective way of keeping your software up to date. Moreover, Subscription entitles you to get a second free perpetual license for your laptop, among many other benefits. For details please read the SYCODE License and Subscription Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). Our licenses are single computer licenses and are locked to each computer they are installed on. Basically, the license key is specific to the computer's Host ID (the MAC address of the computer), and will not work on another computer. The installer picks up the physical MAC address of the network card connected to the computer which is basically “Ethernet adapter Network Connect Adapter”. So unless you change your network card, the key will always work even if you reinstall your operating system. If your internal network is periodically assigning a different Host ID to your computer, then please find a solution for this with your IT department. Note: Downloading this software indicates your acceptance to the SYCODE
Software License Agreement. The price mentioned above is for a single user license. For
your bulk-licensing needs please contact us. Since STL Import for
ARES is a plug-in for ARES powered applications, it must
be loaded into the application's environment before it can be used.
Please follow the simple instructions in the STL Import for
ARES ARES document which is copied into the
installation folder. After you have loaded the plug-in file into the
ARES powered application, simply click on the menu items in the "STLImport"
submenu to run these new commands. Truly, software made simple! |

The STL File Format 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 files may be ASCII or binary data,
although binary is far more common due to the resulting size of the CAD
data when saved to the ASCII format. A STL file describes a raw
unstructured triangulated surface by the unit normal and vertices
(ordered by the right-hand rule) of the triangles using a
three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. Many CAD systems are able
to output the STL file format among their other formats, but very few
have the ability to import STL files. If you want STL Import for ARES to work in a different way to suit your workflow, do let us know. We will customize the plug-in to suit your needs. |
