- Greetings!
-
- I am trying to find out if AutoCAD's AME 2.0 is capable of generating
- STL files for use with a stereolithography machine. I have a series of
- items that I have designed and would like to use the stereolithography
- machine to prototype them. I don't have AME 2.0 yet and I am putting
- off getting it until I find out if it has this capability.
-
- I currently have access to IDEAS-VI from SDRC. Does anyone know if this
- package can generate an STL file. If this is the case then I will use it
- to generate my solid models. I'd much rather use AutoCAD and AME if it
- will do what I need. I have many more years experience with AutoCAD than
- with IDEAS.
-
- Please post or e-mail me any info you might have. I read these two news
- groups daily.
-
- Thanx!
