- Select the Meshes → Export mesh... option from the menu.
- Select the Export mesh... option from the Tree view context menu or 3D view context menu.
- Select the correct file format in the dialog box.
- Enter a filename. If you have selected the
All files (*.*)
option in the previous step, and do not specify a file extension here, the .stl extension will be used. - Press the Save button.
