I am interested to know more about this IGES to STL software. Can you
enlighten me further on this matter?
At times, I do have customers asking whether can we read in IGES files for
RP. It would certainly be interesting for us
to further explore other means of getting STL formatted files.

Joe-

Our experience with Brock Rooney's IGES to STL conversion software has =
been excellent, as long as the surfaced IGES file is relatively clean.=20

Little extra work is required of the RP Center if the file is clean. In =
that case, the conversion typically works well on our default settings. =
For most files, the conversion takes 5 minutes or less. If the file has =
missing surfaces and/or gaps between surfaces, we often iterate through =
the software several times, changing parameters as we go.

We have run STL files created with this software through both our =
stereolithography and selective laser sintering equipment and have had =
no problems.

Hope all is well in Rochester.

I'd like to change the subject for a while if that's okay. How about=20
RP, we haven't talked about that lately. My question deals with the=20
Iges file to STL file conversion.

1)Could someone briefly explain how this process works and what its=20
limits are?=20

2)What systems are compatible and which are not?

I'm living in a somewhat isolated world here, mostly dealing with UG,=20
some ProE, and many .stl files. What I'm interested in knowing is what=20
additional work is required when an IGES file is supplied to a RP=20
Center and how the final part compares to one made from a CAD or STL=20
file.=20

Thanks=20
