The 5xjstlnc.exe program reads *.stl binary files and writes *.nc, *.sf, *.txt and *.doc files. *.nc toolpath files will run on the 4x cnc mill. The following file types are different ways to view the 5xjstlnc.exe program output: *.sf files are silverscreen script files. *.txt files are rhino command files. *.doc files are mastercam ascii text files. Below are three stl test files. You can download the stl test files , the sf txt doc test files or click on the links to interactively view the models I'm not going to put the 5xjstlnc.exe program on the www until I finish testing it on the mill. I expect to finish the initial testing this week |
