Shapeways defines the Z axis as "Up".. some other systems define Z as "to the right".

If you're uploading an STL file, then you can open it in Netfabb, and rotate the model.. then upload it and Shapeways will display it properly.
If you're using some other format.. it depends on your design program.]]> stonysmith 2012-11-02T17:32:26-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=56298&th=11406#msg_56298 jcspaintball 2012-11-05T11:45:47-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=56315&th=11406#msg_56315 . It's all in how the software orients the model. Shapeways sees Z as up. Solidworks see Y as up. So if you rotate your model 90 degrees, it should upload upright for you.]]> Youknowwho4eva 2012-11-05T15:35:33-00:00
