About.stl

STL is the lingua franca of 3D printing: a flat list of triangles. No unit, colour, material or history — a cylinder is a fan of flat strips. The missing unit is the classic cause of scale accidents. Every slicer and mesh tool reads it.

You are printing, meshing or sending to a bureau — where triangles are what is wanted.
