These models are becoming more precise, and more optimized for 3D printing. Therefore, we made our list of the best 3D files and 3D models published in 2017. These include STL files of famous people, ...

STL: Indispensable, but With Limits The STL format, an acronym for “stereolithography”, is probably the best known in the world of 3D printing. Dating back to 1987, this format has become the standard ...

3. Might not catch up with modern 3D printers We’ve mentioned how the limitation in the fidelity of STL files is tolerable when we consider how today’s 3D printers are similarly limited in resolution.

Key notes .STL is one of the most popular 3D modeling file formats that can store the information required by 3D printers. For your 3D printing projects to be successful, you will have to use ...

While it’s lean file size and relative simplicity are great for quick distribution of models, STL files are severely limited in the richness and resolution of information that it can contain. We’re ...
