What is STL?
Stereolithography – STL ist das Standardformat fuer 3D-Druck. Es beschreibt die Oberflaeche eines Modells als Dreiecksnetz ohne Farb- oder Materialinformationen. Jeder 3D-Drucker und Slicer unterstuetzt STL.
Common use cases: 3D-Druck (FDM, SLA, SLS), Rapid Prototyping, CNC.
What is 3MF?
3D Manufacturing Format – 3MF ist das moderne 3D-Druck-Format, entwickelt vom 3MF Consortium (Microsoft, HP, Autodesk). Es speichert Geometrie, Farben, Materialien und Druckeinstellungen in einer kompakten XML/ZIP-Struktur.
Common use cases: 3D-Druck mit Farbinformationen, Multi-Material-Druck, Industrie.
Why Convert STL to 3MF?
Converting from STL to 3MF is useful when you need to move models between different software ecosystems. For example, STL files from one workflow may need to be opened in tools that only support 3MF, or you may need 3MF for 3D printing, web publishing or AR applications.
