Workflow C
CAD program
• Design a 3D object.
• Save it as a single

• Save it as an
assembly of
stl
files.
• Design a 3D object.
• Apply colors to parts
(
Connex3 only
).
• Save the object as a
VRML/
wrl
file.
Objet Studio
• Open (

stl
files as an
assembly
.
• Assign materials to the
assembly’s
components.
• Open (
Insert
) an

file.
(
objdf
files contain

(
wrl
files contain model-
material and color
information.)
