BELL RACING EUROPE DELIGHTED WITH MATERIALISE'S STLFIX.COM INTERNET-BASED SERVICE
09 April 2002 - Materialise NV

Recently, Materialise, provider of industry leading STL manipulation software, started its on-line file repair service called STLfix.com. A team of dedicated engineers, working around the clock, repairs and optimizes the 3D CAD files uploaded to www.STLfix.com.

Since the launched of the STLfix.com service, almost 330 defective STL files have been repaired. That number proves how well the service is catching on. Bell Racing Europe is just one of the customers who have expressed appreciation for the benefits of this timesaving, 24-hour online service.

'Fixing defective STL files took up too much of my time. With STLfix.com, I don't have to do it myself anymore. I just upload the files via the user-friendly interface at the STLfix web site, and they're repaired quickly and efficiently. Meanwhile, I can track my order status on the Project List page, which lets me monitor each project closely. The results always surpass our expectations. Files resulting from reverse engineering often are really bad: there is no wall thickness, we detect a lot of noise and gaps... Nevertheless, when we take those files to the STLfix.com service, the engineering team always succeeds in returning a correct file in a really short time period!' says Mr. Castermans, a satisfied customer from Bell Racing Europe.
