4. Export

The Export tab provides options for exporting your midsole designs and sending them to production. It's organized into three main sections: Export, Order, and Produce.

Export

Export STL

Account Deduction

When using this option, one export will be deducted from your account for the selected product.

When you click Export STL, a popup appears with export options to export the product in STL format. The options use netto (net: the shoe last on its own) and bruto (gross: the shoe last with the midsole fused):

Option	What it exports
Shoe last design	Export the shoe lasts.
Midsole design	Export the midsoles.
Foil (test shoe) - Net	Export a netto test shoe.
Shoe last design - Gross	Export bruto model (shoe last with midsole, if midsole enabled).
Foil (test shoe) - Gross	Export bruto test shoe (shoe last with midsole, if midsole enabled).

This section is only visible when your account is configured with at least one outsource partner.
