AutoCAD to STL
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to AutoCAD and STL interoperability and exchange that could help you with the AutoCAD to STL conversion.
- Import and export STL, OBJ, 3DS, PLY, 3DM, SKP, IGES and STEP files
- Export OBJ, STL, 3DM, SKP, PLY and other 3D files in AutoCAD
AutoCAD Drawing
AutoCAD is a leading CAD (Computer Aided Design) software program developed and maintained by Autodesk. It supports the native DWG drawing format which is capable of storing 2D and 3D geometry data along with the additional project metadata. Our Automesher Application and Automapki Application software allows you to import and export from many external file formats into AutoCAD drawing model space. For the best integration with the AutoCAD environment and the most optimized translation from the external 3D file formats we use the most advanced ObjectARX customization technology from Autodesk.
STL File
STL (STereoLithography) is a file format developed by 3D Systems company, the world leader in the 3D printing industry. STL files contain triangular mesh only, without face color, texture, transparency and named groups data. While it is possible to assign RGB color value for each individual vertex, Autoconverter our STL file converter doesn't support this STL file extension. You can save STL files in binary or ASCII text file format, with the preference for the former one due to significant STL file size reduction. The triangles in STL files are always defined in millimeters therefore our STL converters will make the necessary unit conversion if required.
