Generally the STL format is required for rapid prototyping technologies and IGES is the preferred format for CNC machining. Virtually all up to date CAD software allows the user to output these formats. If you are unable to do so, we can assist you either with in-house translation software, or by outsourcing from a CAD service provider.
