How do you use STL import in Create Pro?

Thanks for asking. I am most interested in importing a dimensional part directly from CAD that comes out to 100% scale on all three axes. An option to choose this would be great. It doesn’t have to be default.

Hi @robgrz

I was wondering if you and the team are thinking about adding a “follow 3D model” option for different tool paths where it makes sense. It would make cutting fret slots in radiused fretboard awesome. Also, this is a vote for dimensional 3d model imports. Although I do cut quite a bit of “artistic” pieces as well.

Thank you!
Dave

Thanks sounds great and as much as I dont own one of your machines here in Spain. I do love your Carbide Create pro software punches way above its weight. I also like its compatibility with just a few tweaks I can prototype stuff on the little grbl machine here and when in the UK can generate the code and it runs sweet on the no name Chinese 8 x 4 we inherited in our works shop win win.

So many thanks

I use the import function and it resizes to meet my defined stock size. After it has been imported, I may edit the size to best fit my stock.
