How Rapid Prototyping with 3D Printing is Changing Medical Equipment Design How Rapid Prototyping with 3D Printing is Changing Medical Equipment Design (and Why Engineers Should Care) Ever wish you could hit “undo” on hardware the way you do in CAD? Welcome to the age of rapid prototyping for medical equipment—where that level of flexibility isn’t just a pipe dream, it’s business as usual.
How to Create a Good STL File from Your Solid Modeling Software How to Create a Good STL File from Your Solid Modeling Software A Good "STL"... what's that? STL shows the triangled based mesh of a 3D Design. What's the difference between a CAD and an STL file? A CAD is defined by its parameters, whereas an STL file is defined by triangles made of vertices and normals. The CAD file is therefore more precise, whereas the STL is a close approximation. CAD is focused on designing for traditional manufacturing, and does not include information...
