Wednesday, September 21 Update

Today, we discussed how to export your file, as a Stereolithography File Type [.stl] – the universal file type, widely used in 3D Printing.

We continued by discussing Catalyst EX. Catalyst prepares your [.STL] File for 3D Printing on the Dimension 1200sst.

Lastly, we introduced the cloud Printing Platform for our NVBot Printers.

If you missed class, you should schedule a review session with me personally.
