REALIZE for AutoCAD (G-Code export) Friends' sites: Alex Bill Jeff John Michael Email the author: |
My friend alex_joni on the #emc channel told me there is no free software to convert from STL to DXF formats. I figured it would be pretty easy so I whipped this up for him.
STL stands for Stereo Lithography and is a (very verbose) file format for describing triangular polygons in 3D space. This program converts these into AutoCAD's 3DFACE entity. AutoCAD's DXF is silly in its own ways but is a very old format that can be read by virtually anything. stl-to-dxf requires python but no special python packages. Simply run it like this: python stl-to-dxf.py < file.stl > file.dxf ... later ... I guess there are ASCII and binary STL files. This program works for ASCII files. Files attached to this page:
