An STL file contains 3D designs that you can edit in a 3D CAD application that supports the format. You can try software like Wings 3D, Autodesk Meshmixer, or MeshLab as these let you open, view ...

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. But sooner or la… ...

FBX: A format that is primarily used to interchange 3D geometry and animation files between various programs. It's primarily used with AR and VR but can be used for 3D print files as well.

What a let down. Part of this is due to shortcomings in the STL file format. There’s a newer format available, 3MF, and Josef Prusa and Jakub Kočí would like you to start using it.

Part of the reason, as many 3D printing enthusiasts know or quickly find out, 3D printers have evolved beyond the ubiquitous and simple STL file format. 3MF is an XML-based data format, as is ...
