    hi, someone in my fablab indicates me that OBJ is not convenient for 3D printers
    he says STL would be better
    but when i have a look in the "export" menu of mathmod, i find only ".obj" features
    what shall i do ?

      Hi, You have to convert from OBJ to STL. There are many free software that can do this such as Meshlab http://www.meshlab.net , Blender....

    so simple thank you Abderrahman
    initially i wanted to script 3D objects with python
    but i never found any plugin for python that can export to STL (or OBJ)
    before i get deeper in mathmod, do you have any idea around this question ?

      I've never used python so I can't help on this, sorry. However, the export part on your code should be intimately dependant on how your 3D objects are "coded" so i don't think there is a "plugin" or python code that will work on every 3D program.

    Hi, i am trying to reduce the size of the models so i can import them into netfabb to measure the volume and surface area. Also, is there a way i can do it in MathMod itself not sure.
    Thank you

      Hi, did you manage to measure a volume? Indeed, I cannot 3D print my designs from MathMod because the slicer I use does not detect any volume on my geometry...
