Bits2Parts.com - a new web service for RPWe regularly export stl files form
an ACIS based system (IronCAD) without any problems. Maybe you should point
your accusations at the implementer of the technology not the technology
provider.

  Nice, nice ....

  First Spatial (usw. Autodesk) must fix thier .STL generator in order to be
succesfull in RP. We regulary receive .STL models from Mech.Desktop wich are
a real disaster to handle/repair, and often can't be used for running on our
Genisys FDM.

  Anyone experienced these kind of problems too? We now usually export the
ACIS-kernel-format and switch it to Parasolid-kernel-format (Vero
Visi-series) If we then make a .STL export, in 9 of 10 time a correct .STL
file is made.

  Kind regards,
