Has anybody had experience with using DataCad STL files for a creality 3D printer? Just selecting the file type and saving seems too simple!

Hi Nick,

You'll want to use a program like MeshLab to process the output from DataCAD for 3D printing.

MeshLab

For example...

3D Printing: Offsetting, Hollowing, Closing
Beside being able to export to STL (one of the most common formats for 3D printing), MeshLab can be used to prepare 3D models for printing by creating inner shells, resampling/remeshing the 3D model to make slicing easier, closing small holes to obtain watertight meshes, and flattening the bottom area to have a better platform adherence.
