I have two parts that I want to print as one, e.g. with moving parts. There are put together in solidworks using an assembly, but when I save it as an STL or step then try and upload it shapeways rejects it. When I open the STL file in solidworks it has the 2 parts separated.

So the question, is there a way to upload an assembly form solidworks to get printed as one part.

I usually use 'fine' when outputting to an STL file, occasionaly I have to use 'course' on complex models. I have had rejections when using manual settings.]]> Roy_Stevens 2012-01-10T01:58:35-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=41597&th=7725#msg_41597
