STL file

Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000368

A standard file format used for representing 3D models as a collection of triangular facets, defining only the surface geometry of an object. This format is widely accepted by 3D printing software and hardware for converting digital designs into physical objects. While ubiquitous, STL files do not contain color, texture, or material properties.
