CATIASTL · Online Conversion Guide

Key values of CATIA → STL conversion include: 从 CATIA 模型快速得到打印/制造可用三角网格 去除语义仅保留几何外壳用于切片 统一输出便于下游加工

CATIA: CATIA is Dassault Systèmes’ high‑end CAD/PLM platform used in aerospace and automotive. Native formats are CATPart/CATProduct, excellent for complex surfaces and large assemblies.

STL as the target format: STL is commonly used for 3D printing/rapid prototyping, keeping triangle shells only (no materials/hierarchy).

Practical tips: 原生导入支持:直接上传 CATPart/CATProduct; 导出后检查非流形/自交并做修复;合理设置离散公差.

Typical scenarios: Complex surfacing, final assembly integration, digital mockups.

Why convert CATIASTL

  • 从 CATIA 模型快速得到打印/制造可用三角网格
  • 去除语义仅保留几何外壳用于切片
  • 统一输出便于下游加工

Quick steps

  1. Upload CATIA on the homepage
  2. Choose STL as the output and convert
  3. For very large models, run 3D Tiles tiling
  4. Open the 3D viewer for interactive preview/sharing

FAQ

Q: What information may be lost from CATIA to STL?

Parametric features/constraints/history become polygon meshes; verify materials and textures.

Q: How to reduce size for CATIA → STL?

Remove hidden parts, lower tessellation where acceptable, compress textures, enable Draco, merge materials.

Q: Batch or very large models supported?

Use 3D Tiles tiling for massive assemblies; consider splitting by hierarchy/area.

Q: Can I further edit after converting?

After converting to STL, geometry is mesh-based; you can clean meshes and tweak materials, but parametrics are not preserved.
