Reduce IGES File Size StarForge 3D Modeling Software

Shrink Legacy IGES Engineering Parts

Old engineering archives often arrive as IGES, the Initial Graphics Exchange Specification that CAD systems have traded since the 1980s. Once its surfaces become triangles for printing, the mesh can be far heavier than needed. Reduce IGES File Size reads the IGES part and decimates it to 300,000 triangles in the browser, nothing uploaded, so the shape holds while the file shrinks. A lighter 3D Print STL File comes out for any slicer. StarForge 3D Modeling Software handles this polygon reduction for 3D printing for free, much like a Blender decimate modifier.
