Embedding an STL file into a second STL file
I am trying to identify a way to produce an STL file that has an imprint of my grip (hand,fingers) on it. I have found some 3D scanning sodftware (Qlone for IOS) to capture a STL of my hand, but now I want to take that image and form an impression on another STL file, like a handle for example. Does anyone have any…
