Smart STL to DXF Converter

1.2

A straightforward and user-friendly application that helps you convert your STL files (3D stereo-lithography) to AutoCAD 3D DXF files

Stereolithography is a type of printing that offers people the possibility to create 3D objects while integrating multiple layers in the process.
STL files are native to this process and they describe the surface geometry of a 3D model or part as they do not include details regarding texture, color or other CAD attributes.
If you want to access this data and use it within a CAD software solution, you need to convert it to a compatible format and Smart STL to DXF Converter supports one such format.
DXF format is a proprietary format created by Autodesk to facilitate data exchange between AutoCAD and various other programs.

Minimalist GUI


The main window of the application is as straightforward as it can be - you need to choose the source file, then select the location of the output file.
By default, the app attempts to save it in the same folder as the source file, but you can easily specify a different path or filename for the generated DXF.

Supports one STL file at a time


One major downside of Smart STL to DXF Converter is that you can only load a single file at a time.
This means that if you have several items that you want to convert to DXF, you need to repeat the operation many time, thus wasting a lot of time.

Cannot adjust output attributes


Another shortcoming of this application is that you do not have any type of control over the STL information that is converted to DXF. You cannot alter any attributes of the output file.

Conclusion


All in all, Smart STL to DXF Converter is a simplistic application that you can rely on when you want to quickly convert a single STL file to DXF.
