Curved surfaces are represented in STL as a series of straight-line segments, generated via tessellation. For example, you can fuse meshes before exporting. When you have more than one Body to convert you can use Tools from Mesh Workbench. The default file type is "Binary STL (*.stl)". If you include an extension which matches the file type, no additional extension will be added. If you include an extension which does not match the selected file type, an extension for the selected type will be added when the file is saved. The extension will be set based on the file type. Fill in the file name the extension is not necessary. Right click the mesh object in the tree view and choose Export mesh. The mesh object will be created in the tree view (with green mesh icon ). For more information refer to Mesh from Shape. Select one of the available meshers and specify the available options. Choose Meshes → Create Mesh from shape. Select the solid to be meshed in the tree view. Choose Save.Įxport Method 2: Using the Mesh Workbench in FreeCAD You must include the extension ".ast" in the file name to produce a. and set file type to "STL mesh (*.stl *.ast)". Select the solid to be exported in the tree view. Apply a fusion by clicking on Part Fuse. Insert a cube by clicking on Part Box/Cube. You can use your own FreeCAD file, but you could also create a quick test file by If this is not the case you have to scale your model. The mesh-format STL/OBJ is dimensionless FreeCAD will assume on export that the units used in the model are in mm.
