Translations:Manual:Preparing models for 3D printing/12/en


 * Let's convert one of the objects we modelled in the previous chapters, such as the lego piece (which can be downloaded from the end of the previous chapter).
 * Open the FreeCAD file containing the lego piece.
 * Switch to the Mesh Workbench
 * Select the lego brick
 * Select menu Meshes -> Create Mesh from Shape
 * A task panel will open with several options. Some additional meshing algorithms (Mefisto or Netgen) might not be available, depending on how your version of FreeCAD was compiled. The Standard meshing algorithm will always be present. It offers less possibilities than the two others, but is totally sufficient for small objects that fit into the maximum print size of a 3D printer.
