You need an editor like MakerWare. Unless you want to print them on a 3D printer through EZ-Robots. What are you trying to do? ARC opens ARC Program files named *.ezb.

my 2 cents.

you don't need any other programs, ARC can view STL files just fine.

You are opening it incorrectly though...

  1. Click on Project in the Ribbon
  2. Click on Bit Builder
  3. Click on Design
  4. Click on Add STL
  5. Select the STL and click Open

Look across the top of that dialogue, it has a path to where the STL files should be, this is where you need to put the STL files if you don't want to browse through the hard drive to find them (the column on the left, double click the .. in it to go up a directory and browse through your hard drive).

The default location is usually Documents\EZ-Builder\My STL Files
