I didn't realize that even for a binary STL file, you can compress it to more than half !!!
what a surprise to me? Here is the same file in .ZIP which is only 48MB.
One third of the original. enjoy.

Sorry for the duplication.

ftp://stl:stl@147.8.86.48/stl120b.zp

Hi,

Here is one 120MB binary STL file I created in SolidWorks 99.
For those of you who are interested, you can d/l in here:
ftp://stl:stl@147.8.86.48/stl120b.stl

Regards.

Hi,

I am searching for an RP technology that is capable of building an STL
file that is 180MB in size. I need a technology that does not require a
support structure as the part is physiologic and supports will typically
occupy more volume than than the part!

Thanks in advance for your help,

Tim Smith
