3D Printing

We utilized 3D printing to create a part for our testing rig that would be too expensive to purchase and too difficult to manufacture. It saved us a lot of money and time to make a way to connect the bats to the testing rig. To get a part 3-D printed what you first need to do is create a model of your part. Once you have made your part you have to follow a specific procedure to convert into an .stl file, (the file format for 3-D). You must go to either your export button, or save as button and click .stl. Once you choose that setting it will ask you how rendered you want your part. Then just save your file. This is demonstrated in the Tutorials section.
