By the way, I know it’s a hundred years later, but if you’re still interested and haven’t seen this, he ended up creating a DXF output:

> I am working on building a CMM Arm with the end goal of exporting a 3D .DXF file of the object measured as well as a point cloud file (simple Tab Delimited Text file). I am having trouble with exporting the DXF as its saving as a mirrored image to the original (see processing screen shot and Solidworks import below). Where I believe I am falling into trouble is the scale and translate functions I call early on in the draw() function. scale(1, -1); //Reverses the Y coordinate system …
