BLEND to STL
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to BLEND and STL interoperability and exchange that could help you with the BLEND to STL conversion.
- Convert 3D mesh files in the batch mode
- Automesher desktop application for Windows to convert 3D file formats
- Autoconverter
BLEND File
BLEND (Blender) is a native file format for the open source Blender software used to create advanced 3D content. The BLEND file can store 3D triangular mesh data, light sources, object animation key frames, texture UV mapping and other data required to create outstanding 3D visualizations and animations. To import and convert BLEND files into your native modeling environment you can use our Autoconverter or Automesher Application converters which will allow you to consume and process BLEND files outside the native Blender environment. Please note however that for the moment we don't support exporting your 3D projects into the BLEND file format which you could process further with the Blender authoring software.
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.
