Hello, me and my friends are trying to export files from PreForm software for 3D Printing (we need it for support generation).
The only problem is that the recent builds of the software save files are crypted and there isn't any way to export a normal stl file.
All we have is a proprietary format called ".form". 5 Years ago with this software the export was possible because of this cool guy and his tool
Since then the files are crypted via Simple-Crypt apparently.
We also tryied to get a capture of the OpenGL model from OGLE, but the thing doesn't work.
I have made an archive where you can find:
- The latest version of PreForm
- The last build that works with extractSTL
- extractSTL
- A sample stl file called Lion_Original.stl and the 2 output files of the lion made from the 2 versions of the software
Can you guys help us?

Re: PreForm export stl
I'd like to second this request, having the ability to do supports in a recent version of Preform and exporting to STL for printing on hobbiest level printers would be simply amazing. Has anyone attempted this challenge?

Re: PreForm export stl
Sorry for upping it again. I want to attach some .form file, that you can try to decrypt or extract mesh (.stl)

Re: PreForm export stl
Hello everyone, I'm new and I thank you for welcoming me in your forum.
I can not get the .exe to work.
I do not understand where I'm wrong, can you explain the procedure to make the converter work?
Forgive me and thank you very much.
