Different 3D printing software
- [Instructor] You understand the importance of having a completely watertight model for 3D printing. At the end of the day, though, your main goal is to make a digital model that your 3D printing software can easily understand. The same exact STL export from Rhino could be interpreted very differently between separate 3D printing software. Now's the time to figure out how forgiving your final software is. So here we have a simple model of two separate blocks and in most cases, what we're going to want to do is of course, join these together. And now we're ready for export. That being said, if I ended this and exported both of these models as an STL now for 3D printing, there are some programs that would interpret this massing as a single volume. So let's look at four different 3D printing softwares to see how they would interpret this same export. Here, we're looking at the MakerBot software. So it looks pretty similar…
