Formatting you file
The final 3D file should be an STL file. This is then brought into the specific* 3D printer software to create the final file for the printer.
*See 3D Printer Software section above.
The file should be exported in mm, as that is what a STL format is. If you export in CM or Inches it will come into the 3D slicer software as to large, and will have to be scaled down.
