If you're a SketchUp Pro user, you can import or export CAD files, which use the . dwg or . dxf file formats.
In SketchUp, you can import and export STL files, which are used in 3D printing. But for a SketchUp model to become a successful 3D printout, the model needs to meet a certain criteria, such as having a base and a volume and being a solid.
SketchUp is completely suitable for modeling objects that will be 3D printed. After the model is ready and reported as “solid” by SketchUp, the model is exported as an STL file. The STL file can be given to slicer software to control a 3D printer, or the STL file can be uploaded directly to commercial 3D printing companies.
