Introduction
The previous article on the NSWGR Workman's van covered the Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) model build sequence to create a full, 3D solid CAD model of the prototype [Editor's note: refer AMRM issue 357 December 2022]. The article concluded by leaving the model in a virtual format on a computer. In this instalment we cover converting the virtual geometry to generate into something physical, and in this case, 3D printing was chosen as the final output of the work.
This article covers exporting the CAD geometry in a suitable manner for 3D printing,
