Working with part export

Save individual parts as files separate from the FABBPROJECT

You can export parts as slice files or 3D triangle mesh files, as well as export single or multiple parts at once.

To export one or multiple parts as 3D triangle mesh files

1. Select the part or parts you want to export.
2. Click File > Export Part and select a mesh file format.

   The Export Parts dialog opens.

3. Adjust export settings for the parts.
   Note: If multiple parts were selected, an additional section, Multi File Export Options, becomes available. The settings here determine the output format.
4. Enter a target folder file name and click OK.

To export one or more parts as slice files

1. Select all the part or parts you want to export.
2. Click File > Export Part > As Slice.

   The Export Slices dialog opens.

3. Adjust slice export settings and click OK.

   Tip: These are the same settings used for exporting slices. See Export and Save Slices.

To export parts as parametric CAD file

Note: Export to CAD formats is available only for those parts that were loaded as CAD file and still retain their parametric data.

1. In Netfabb, select the parts you want to export.
2. Click File > Export Part > as parametric model file (SAT, STEP, IGES), and select the CAD format you want to export to, SAT, STEP, or IGES.

   The Export Parts dialog box opens.

3. Adjust export settings for the parts.
4. Enter a name and folder for your file and click OK.

Note: If this export option is grayed out, it is not a parametric part and you cannot export it to SAT, STEP, or IGES.
