Have a most awesome evening!
Convert 3D STL to DXF scale it and Convert DXF back again to STL to cut it in 3D? and what program can i use for this?
What software did you use to create the STL?
Most CAM software can scale the .stl before creating toolpaths. No changing of formats is necessary.
I completely agree with what Gerry said, please post information about what software you are using so someone here may provide pertinent information, direction and help.Quote:
