https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Saving-file-for-a-3D-Printer/m-p/203540#M25472 It's been a while since I have done it but I have done this by saving a .3ds file and then opening that in Rhino and then saving it as the .sdl format. I actually didn't have Rhino so the the lab converted it for me. Worked great, but it was a few years ago so I'm not sure if that method is still viable.

The 3D printer I am using reads .sdl files. I have saved this file to Google SketchUp and from there saved it as an .sdl file but it seems to be corrupted. Is there another more direct way to create a file for a 3D printer from ArchiCad? Thanks for any help.</T></DIV> Sat, 12 Nov 2011 19:49:00 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Saving-file-for-a-3D-Printer/m-p/203539#M25471 Anonymous 2011-11-12T19:49:00Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Saving-file-for-a-3D-Printer/m-p/203540#M25472 It's been a while since I have done it but I have done this by saving a .3ds file and then opening that in Rhino and then saving it as the .sdl format.
