Quality of exported .stl files - Maxtol - 2024-11-16
Hello community
Could you tell me if there is any way to improve the quality of the exported files as .stl (increase the amount of polygon)?
thanks

What program do you use to export the files?
What part(s) do you want to export?

The quality depends on the source material. Read:

I am using ldview.
any part actually, even if it is a block the edges of the recessed cylinders come out with flat faces.
if you recommend me a better program i would appreciate it.
greetings

I think you're going to have flat surfaces around round portions no matter what program you use. Having said that, if you set the Curve Quality setting to its maximum value on the Primitives section of LDView's preferences, it will increase the smoothness of geometry it recognizes as being curved.
