The standard STL file format does not support colored faces or vertices or texture information. The STL format can be either Text or Binary, our tools will support both formats.

There were several formats that attempted to extend the STL format namely SolidView and VisCAM whose formats included limited 15-bit color information for each mesh face which is often ignored by most modern 3D software. The format defines a triangulated mesh with vertices and faces and is a popular format for sharing 3D printable model files. The STL file format has its roots in the 1980's and is the native file format for 3D Systems stereolithography CAD software. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.īlender, MeshLab, CAD Assistant, DAZ Studio

Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our 3DM conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. What if I am using an Ad Blocker, will that affect things? No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools. Yes! Our 3DM to STL tool will run on any system with a modern web browser.

Can I convert 3DM to STL on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS? The resulting STL file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time. Yes, of course! We do not store the 3DM file you submit to us. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week. We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. How accurate is the 3DM to STL conversion? We aim to process all 3DM to STL conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient. How long does it take to convert my 3DM to STL? When the 3DM to STL conversion has completed, you can download your STL file straight away.

How can I convert my 3DM file to STL?įirst click the 'Upload.' button, select your 3DM file to upload. Optionally, our tool will allow you to save to the non-standard color STL format. Our tool will save all STL files in binary format.
