Like Tinkercad, there are other programs on the market to build 3D models. The software gives you the option to export what you designed to a format called OBJ or also to STL, with which you can print in 3D. It is simple but has height, length and height. This simple 3D figure was modeled with an online software called Tinkercad. “.STL” is the file extension for the STL file format. These files are usually generated by a computer aided design (CAD) program, as the end product of the 3D modeling process.

This format describes only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object without any representation of color, texture, or other common model attributes. STL file stores information about 3D models. It is generally thought to be an abbreviation for the word STereoLithography, although it is also sometimes referred to as “Standard Triangle Language” or “Standard Tessellation Language”.Ī. STL file extension has been lost in the mists of time. But how can we explain? So we decided to do some teaching by explaining what.

The question might be silly if you’re an expert on the subject, or you might not know what STL means and be stuck with the big question mark.Ībsolutely every day we get the craziest emails sending us photos, paintings, ideas, sketches, audios, etc., which we can do nothing with, because that’s not the right 3d printing format.
