STL Import for IntelliCAD is a Stereolithography STL file import plug-in for IntelliCAD powered applications. This plug-in gives IntelliCAD powered applications the ability to import geometric data from ASCII and Binary STL files. The STL file format is the Rapid Prototyping industry's standard data transmission format and is the format required to interact with stereolithography machines. Stereolithography files contain solids which are made up of 3 sided facets. STL Import for IntelliCAD converts these facets into a single PolyFace Mesh entity and adds it to the active drawing. STL Import for IntelliCAD is very easy to use as it adds a new command to the IntelliCAD powered application called "STLImport". Simply type "STLImport" at the command prompt and select a STLfile to import into the active drawing.
