4. Export
The Export tab provides options for exporting your orthotic designs and sending them to production. It's organized into three main sections: Export, Order, and Produce.
Export
Export STL
Exports the insoles as separate files in STL format.
When using this option, one pair of insoles will be deducted from your account.
Export Design
Exports the file in .ldes format, which can be sent to a third party to open, check, modify, and export the design.
This option does not deduct any insoles from your account.
Order
This section is only visible when your account is configured with at least one outsource partner.
Ordering will not deduct any insoles from your account.
Save Order
Saves the design in .l3z format as a production item. Unlike the design export, these files cannot be modified.
Place Order
Uploads the design to the order/outsource platform of your selected outsource partner.
Produce
Placing in production will not deduct any insoles from your account.
Produce Now
Adds the item to the production queue and immediately opens it as a production item, so in the next step it can be exported. This opens the interface for generating gcode for milling or preparing slicing for 3D printing.
Place in Production
Adds the design to the production queue for later processing. This option is typically used when milling multiple pairs of insoles on a larger table.
