STL File Format Tips
STL is an acronym that stands for stereolithography, a method to approximate 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.
Tips
Software at PPM that previews STL
- Visual Studio Code (with extension)
- (not Adobe Bridge)
- Preview (macOS) — on Wikipedia
- (Procreate supports only OBJ and USD.)
Software at PPM that Imports STL
- Blender 4.0
- Mathematica — "Import and Export fully support the STL file format."
Software at PPM that Exports STL
- Autodesk Fusion — Export designs
- Blender 4.0
- Mathematica — "Import and Export fully support the STL file format."
Classes
PPM announces its Upcoming events, including classes, on Meetup
Training — PPM Trainer(s) needed
