•Small Files (less than 8MB) Smaller files are easily transferred to us via email. Attach the file to an email describing the job and send it to . Binary STL files are preferred. You may compress the file into a zip archive to reduce the size of the transfer. (You can download the WinZip compression utility at http://winzip.com.) •Large Files (8MB or more) Large files should be uploaded to our secure ftp server at ftp://midwestprototyping.com. File uploads are one-way and files that you upload are invisible to other users. Most web browsers support ftp file uploads directly. Drop your files in the folder called "stl_files". (If you use the link above you will be taken there automatically.) After you have uploaded your file(s), please send an email describing the job along with the file name(s) to . If you have any questions regarding file uploads, call us at 608.437.1400 and we will be happy to assist you. •Preparing STL files for SLA Your design must be a three dimensional solid object in order to output an STL file suitable for an SLA build. To save time and file size, export your STL file as a binary file. We strongly recommend you preview your final STL output. A free STL viewer is available at http://solidview.com. Specific guidelines for generating STL files using popular CAD packages can be found here. |
