3D printer files are digital files that contain information about the shape and geometry of a 3D object. These files can be created using a variety of 3D modeling software and saved in a variety of ...

3D printing can be a fun and productive hobby and skill, but there can be a lot of confusion around the files involved. Here are some you should know about.

May 16, 2018 STL files are everywhere. When there’s something to 3D print, it’s probably going to be an STL. Which, as long as the model is good just as it is, is no trouble at all.

A file with .stl extension is a 3D graphic file native to Stereolithography technology. Stereolithography is basically a type of 3D printing technology to create 3D models.

Students will learn to use 3D printing software and to make or modify their own 3D models. Students will be able to produce ...

STL format is, by comparison, almost trivial to implement. This has in part contributed to the inertia keeping STL as the format making the 3D printing world go round. Want to try it out?

STL files "cut up" CAD models, giving the 3D printing machine the information it needs to print each layer of an object. How it works: SLA Unlike the desktop printer you use to print documents ...

The file types you can convert to are much more limited—there are only six of them—but Spin 3D includes outputs in 3DP and 3DX in addition to STL and OBJ formats.
