export stl

[adloram]

I have an object of closed and valid polysurfaces (also checked through edge control), not having thickness, to be exported as stl for a 3d printing (stereolithography).

in the rhino export panel (we talk about rhino osx, but I can also have access to a windows) exporting the object without thickness, this will be given automatically, or the print will be a full object?

Thank you in advance for your help, and apologize for the trouble. :finger:

If I understand the question well...the answer is that your object is that it runs out perfectly closed or not...it will have to be "processed" with another software specific to rapid prototyping.
and it will be the task of the technician to close any holes or perfect some parts!
So...your task is to model as best as you can your object. ..after the rest does it who you have to do!

generally the software accused to rapid prototyping machines, have a whole series of features specific to prepare stl.
One of these features is to be able to attribute a thickness to objects that do not have them.

to answer your question:
If I model a perfectly closed solid cube and make it prototyping, I will get a full body cube.
It will be enough to tell the firm that it performs the prototyping not to do it full but to give the walls a thickness. (the minimum thickness that these machines can make seems to me to be 1mm).

cmq. even rhino can give a thickness to a stl: the command is _offsetmesh
