Import geometric data from ASCII and Binary STL files
Editor: STL Import for SpaceClaim is a Stereolithography (.stl) file import add-in for SpaceClaim. This add-in gives SpaceClaim the ability to import Geometric data from ASCII and Binary STL files.

STL Import for SpaceClaim reads polygon mesh data stored in STL files and imports it into SpaceClaim. A polygon mesh in a STL file is comprised of a set of triangular faces. STL Import for SpaceClaim creates trimmed planar surfaces for each TRIANGLE and knits them together to Create a solid. The solid is then cleaned up so that adjacent coplanar faces are merged in single trimmed planar faces. If the polygon mesh is closed (i.e. it does not contain boundary edges) then STL Import for SpaceClaim will create a closed solid feature, otherwise an open surface will be created.

STL Import for SpaceClaim is very easy to use. It adds new commands to SpaceClaim. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into SpaceClaim and adds a new ribbon bar to SpaceClaim called STLImport containing the newly added commands. you can free download STL Import for SpaceClaim 1.0 now.
