    probelm exporting solid works file model splits in 2 halfs

    I am getting a file from a vendor

    its a curved tube its a single surface in solidworks

    but when exported as a Iges or X.T file run in Mastercam or Rhino

    its cut in half on the sides ...

    I need a single surface to machine any way to fix this ?

    thanks

    Use the native SolidWorks file or a parasolid in MC.
    I would imagine RhinoCam will accept an STL, make sure to have the triangle count high in your export settings.
