Upload STL files to 3DEXPERIENCE Marketplace with eDrawings 2020

In a previous article, we demonstrated how to access the 3DEXPERIENCE Marketplace from within SOLIDWORKS in order to get parts quoted for manufacture.  We can now use eDrawings Professional to get parts quoted using *.stl files.  STL (stereolithography) format is one of the most common and universal file formats for 3D printing.

1. Load the *.stl model in eDrawings and click on the icon shown below.  If the button is available in a native eDrawings format file, it likely means that the STL information was included.  In that case, simply save as *.stl and open in eDrawings.
