CAD FORMATSWith the Autodesk Netfabb CAD import function, you can convert original CAD data directly into 3D mesh files without the need for additional, expensive software tools. If any conversion errors occur during translation, they can be fixed by the highly advanced automatic repair function in Autodesk Netfabb. Following your file import, you can check your mesh for printability, correct imperfections and start the production process.

CAD import is supported for Windows.
