Exporting and manufacturing our models
Before we export our models for 3D printing, we need to reposition them to prepare them for manufacturing. To do this, I am going to move the lid out of the box and lower it to touch the Workplane, as shown in Figure 16.21:

Next, we can press the Export button in the top-right corner of the design window to open the options for 3D printing our design, as shown in Figure 16.22:

As discussed previously in Chapter 14, you can choose the best file format for your manufacturing resources, or choose to manufacture your project using a 3D printing production service instead. You also want to decide whether you are going to print the lid and box parts together, or whether you would like to export them as separate files for manufacturing with different materials like we did in the last chapter for...
