Hello List,

We tried SLC conversion to STL using 3D-doctor...Results are quite
decent....Yet to RP it to check the surface finish....

If you have direct resources, please try and share your results....I am
happy that 3D-doctor reads SLC and brings STL out fast.....

Hello Kiran,

There is a way to generate surfaces from slices with DeskArtes 3Data
Expert by creating a skin on top of the slices. After that you can
triangulate the surface to get STL data again. Anyhow, this process
works accurately only with relatively simple shapes. Please contact me
outside the list for further details.

Best regards,

Ismo Mäkelä
