FAQ

How do I view the file?
The STL files may not be viewable on your computer as this is new technology. As the technology progresses this will become more widely available. We would recommend using freeware and the software below to view these files, such as Blender.
We have also been using a couple of phone apps to view files such as Meshlab and viewshape.
Simply download the app onto your phone, email yourself an email which has one of the STL files attached. Open the email and select the file and press open with - meshlab or open with - viewshape. The file will then be saved within the app and viewable.
Meshlab allows you to both view and change the lighting of the files and is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS.
Whereas Viewshape allows you to recolour the files
