What is a STL File?

STL Converter

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.

What is a OBJ File?

OBJ Converter

OBJ is a widely supported 3D model format that supports vertex positions, texture coordinates, normals, and materials via companion MTL files. It is ideal for editing and rendering workflows.
