STL File Format Tips

STL is an acronym that stands for stereolithography, a method to describe the surface geometry of a 3D model exclusively with triangles.

This file format is commonly used in 3D Printing, and it is commonly generated by Computer Aided Design (CAD) software or a 3D scanner.

The STL format does not include color, textures, or metadata (author, date of creation, etc.) of objects.

STL is a very common file format, but alternative formats include OBJ and STEP.

Fusion

Mathematica

Photoshop

Thingiverse
