STL Combine / Merge?

[Matthew Hajicek - Singularity]

Does anyone here know a good way to combine or merge two STL files? I'm programming to mill six sides of a part on a horizontal. The first setup will get three sides, and then the part will be flipped to get the other three. I saved an STL of the stock without vice or tombstone after verifying the first setup, and have STL-Transformed it to the proper position and orientation for the second setup. Now I want to include the tombstone and vice again for verification. I know I could import the STL, remodel the partially machined part as a solid and add it to a copy of the vice and tombstone, but there should be a better way.

 

Thanks,

Verisurf Reverse works great for this!

I never had to do it before but I figured I'd try for ya and viola.

 

If you don't have it contact Ernie @ verisurf and/or I think the 30 day trial is here:

1)Import both stl files you want to merge into the reverse tab in you op manager

 

2) highlight both files

 

3)right click- export/to file

 

4) choose location and name you want to save as.

 

Now both files are combined into the new file.

"reverse tab"?

 

I don't see that in my op manager. Am I missing something?

do you have Verisurf Reverse installed?
