I think you've some exporting problems so Select either Binary or ASCII as the file format. 

To set the STL export options:

1. Click File, Save As.

2. Select STL (*.stl) for Save as type, then click Options.

3. Select from the options described below, then click OK.

4. Click Save to export the document.

-Select either Binary or ASCII as the file format. Binary files are smaller than ASCII files, but they are not supported in some other systems. Select the type supported by the target system.

-Unit. Select the unit of measure.

- Show STL info before file saving. Displays a SolidWorks dialog box (when you click Save in the Save As dialog box) that contains the following information: Triangles (number), File Size, File Format, and the directory path and file name.

I have created a part in solidworks and it is only 335 exported as an stl file..  I had the same part scanned and the stl file they sent me was 11.7mb.  What am I doing wrong.  I don't have enough data in my model to generate a gcode that will generate my part.  I am new to this and would like some help.
