When manufacturing a product / a model using a 3D printer, the first
stage is to design and draw it in CAD software.
Once completed, the design will be exported as an STL file ( or OBJ / DAE
/ AMF formats), which is likely to be compatible with the software provided by
the 3D manufacturer. Some 3D manufacturers use open source software such
as ‘CURA’.
Open up the manufacturers recommended software and import the STL file.
The design can then manipulated, such as rotated and scaled. It is then
ready for saving as a model.
The model (file) can then be copied to an SD card, which in turn is
inserted into the 3D printer SD-card slot, ready for use.
