3d printer

[Comitatus]

For study, we need to make a 3D-Printer and run it with labview, but if I load a STL file. I don't see a picture of it. I have search for turtorials but it seems there are not much tutorials how to work with 3 pictures in labview.

A second problem is we need to make sections of the object and use it to print (printing is by giving a image in each layer and step by step).

I use a professional Labview for students with modules application builder, control design an Simulation Module and last MathScript RT Module

Hi,

Have you tried this to get your stl loaded into LabVIEW?

Thx, I have fix it,proberly it was still not ASCII and i ask few times to replace it. But now i still have probs to create 2d image of each layer. We want a xy-image of it with a variable z which can be controlled for creating a image.

I'm running into the problem..how to control the z axis of a .stl file in order to layer it out..Is that another way of simulating a 3d printer?
