Description

An StL ("StereoLithography") file is a triangular representation of a 3-dimensional surface geometry. The surface is tessellated or broken down logically into a series of small triangles (facets). Each facet is described by a perpendicular direction and three points representing the vertices (corners) of the triangle (Ennex Research Corporation). The StL file format is commonly used for 3D printing.
