Generate stl file

We used Solidworks to generate stl files. Please pay attention to the following issues while generating new stl file:

  • define a new reference coordinate system in SolidWorks and export the stl file using this reference coordinate system.

  • the mesh size (amount of triangles) is limited to ?32000?
  • the stl file should not begin with "solid", therefore substitute the string "solid" e.g. with "robot" using
     sed -i '0,/RE/s/solid/robot/' */*.stl
