    Yes the output from Rhino can be used with most systems. For Cam
    milling we usually take the .stl file output from Rhino and convert 
it
    to G code, some thing the service bureau does, you dont have to. For
    3 D printing the client supplies the .stl file or the original 3dm
    file direct from Rhino. 

    You can contact us with any questions
