STL

STL (STereoLithography) is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software. This file format is supported by many other software packages; it is widely used for rapid prototyping, 3D printing and computer-aided manufacturing. STL files describe only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object without any representation of color, texture or other common CAD model attributes. The STL format specifies both ASCII and binary representations. Binary files are more common, since they are more compact.

nTopology is a versatile, industry-leading data preparation and STL editor software for Additive Manufacturing that allows you to convert files to STL, repair errors, edit your design and prepare your build platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of converting STL to nTopology in CAD Exchanger?

CAD Exchanger Lab is an easy-to-use 3D viewer and converter to read and write 30+ key 3D formats. It allows you to view and convert files, measure objects, build sectioning views, explode assemblies, create meshes and view PMI.

High-performance visualization, precise geometry, B-Rep modeling, turning individual assemblies and parts on and off make CAD Exchanger a useful tool for all facets of a design project.

Is there an SDK to build a STL to nTopology conversion feature in my own application?

Software libraries to read, write and visualize 3D CAD files, including STL and nTopology, are available in CAD Exchanger SDK, a set of C++ / C# / Java / Python libraries to develop fast and robust 3D applications.

Is there an option to batch convert STL to nTopology files in CAD Exchanger?

Batch conversion feature is available in CAD Exchanger Batch (Command Line Interface), a light-weight server-based solution for batch conversions of CAD data in corporate or cloud environments.

How are CAD Exchanger products licensed?

For CAD Exchanger Lab, there are two licensing models – perpetual and subscription – which differ in access duration, either perpetual or for 12 months.

Everything you need to know about CAD file formats

A CAD file is an output of a CAD software, containing key information about the designed object: its geometry and topology representation, 3D model hierarchy, metadata, and visual attributes depending on the format of the file.
