Hey guys. A quick question for those in the know.
My client approached my to do some large sculpts, 400mm x 500mm x 13mm, kind of like large wall plaques, and to provide files suitable for 3D printing. While my main concern was the dimensions I assumed, and the client was happy, that the file format and size would not be an issue (STL's coming in at just under 100Mb) as she'd already asked her manufacturers.
Now her manufacturers are saying that the STL files from zbrush are no good, don't contain enough information and that they want IGES. I know IGES and STL are fundamentally different (volumes vs triangles) and that while converting IGES to STL is relatively painless going the other way isn't.
So I'm wondering if anyone has faced a similar issue and found a solution?
It turns out they’ll be making aluminium plates so I assume this will be done with some kind of CNC?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Never mind. Its being redone in Rhino.
