STL Import for Inventor

STL Import for Inventor is a Stereolithography (.stl) file import add-in for Inventor. Thanks to it you will have the possibility to import polygon data from Binary STL files.

STL Import for Inventor reads polygon mesh data stored in STL files and imports it into Inventor. A polygon mesh in a STL file is comprised of a set of triangular faces. STL Import for Inventor creates trimmed planar surfaces for each triangle/quad and knits them together to create a body. If the polygon mesh is closed (i.e. it does not contain boundary edges) then STL Import for Inventor will create a closed body feature, otherwise an open surface will be created.

STL Import for Inventor is very easy to use. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into Inventor and adds a new submenu called "STLImport" to the Inventor menu.

The 'STLImport' submenu consists of the following commands: · Import - Import a STL file. · Help - Display the STL Import for Inventor help file. · Register - Register your copy of STL Import for Inventor. · About - Display the STL Import for Inventor About box.

STL Import for Inventor comes with detailed documentation for each command as well as a tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time.
