The Stereolithography (STL) format stores surface geometry as triangulated mesh data. It is the universal standard for 3D printing but lacks support for colors, textures, and materials.
3MF is an XML-based 3D model format that stores comprehensive data including geometry, materials, colors, and textures in a single package. It is the modern standard for additive manufacturing workflows.
Converting STL to 3MF enables compatibility with additive manufacturing and modern 3D printing workflows. Upload your Stereolithography file and get a 3D Manufacturing Format file ready for download in seconds.
