Could someone export it as an IGES file?

Solidworks 99, Cadkey 99, and Mastercam gave garbage when the file was unzipped.

Not to worry Blake. It was not worth it.

3mm Apex seals:
As to modifying the rotors for the 3mm seals why not use a wire EDM to make the
new slots? No one has posted the tolerances yet, but I can hold a tenth with some
care in the lab, and I'm just a senior engineering student. If you work at it
millionths are doable. Some of the electrical parameters can be jiggled to leave a
very fine surface finish.

Are they currently ground out?
