When I try to export a simply 3D model as a .dxf file, it is exported as a flat 2D image of the current view. Is there a way to export a full 3D rendering that you can then use in a CAM program?

.dxf is drawing exchange format. Meaning by definition it is limited to 2D. Is there another format you can export in, like .stl or .stp?
