BricsCAD to STL Conversion
Three steps are all it takes to export BricsCAD drawings to STL with our powerful exporter:
Install Automesher Application
Export STL mesh files directly from BricsCAD drawings using Automesher Application - simply install the plugin and restart your CAD software.
Execute STL Export
Enter AmExportMesh in the command line. Then, select the 3D entities (e.g., Polyface Mesh, Polygon Mesh, 3D Solid, or 3D Face) from your BricsCAD model space that you want to export.
Save as STL Mesh File
Select STL (*.stl) as file type, choose the destination folder and file name, then click Save to complete the export.

- Customization and Automation: Extend BricsCAD functionality using LISP routines, C++, .NET APIs, and ObjectBRX programming interfaces.
BricsCAD Drawing Conversion and Data Integration
Expand your BricsCAD capabilities with Automesher Application and Automapki Application add-ons. These tools enable direct import and export of 3D models and geospatial data in industry-standard formats:
- 3D Model Support: Import and export STL, SKP (SketchUp), OBJ, and other popular 3D model formats directly into BricsCAD.
- GIS Data Integration: Work with SHP (ESRI Shapefiles), KML (Google Earth files), and more to integrate geographic information into your CAD drawings.
Supercharge your workflow with Automesher and Automapki - the essential BricsCAD plug-ins for connecting 3D modeling and geospatial data, ensuring your designs are more powerful, flexible, and globally compatible.
What is an STL File? (STereoLithography Format Explained)
The STL file format (short for STereoLithography) was developed by 3D Systems, a pioneer in the 3D printing industry, to simplify rapid prototyping and manufacturing processes. Today, STL files are one of the most common file types used in computer-aided design (CAD), digital fabrication, and additive manufacturing workflows. STL models exclusively represent 3D geometry as a triangular mesh, offering high compatibility and fast processing across various 3D printers and modeling software.
Key Features of the STL Format
- Lightweight and Simple: An STL file contains only the coordinates of vertices and normal vectors of triangles, making it extremely easy for 3D software and printers to interpret.
- No Textures or Materials: STL models do not store color, texture, transparency, or material information, resulting in pure geometric representations without extra attributes.
- Two Storage Methods: STL files are available in two distinct formats:
- Binary STL: The most popular choice due to its small file size, ideal for faster saving, sharing, and printing.
- ASCII STL: A human-readable text format that explicitly describes each triangle but produces significantly larger files.
- No Fixed Units: The STL format does not define units (millimeters, inches, etc.). Most programs assume millimeters by default. Our STL files converter can automatically handle unit adjustments during file conversion if needed.
STL File Conversion Made Easy
Looking to convert STL files into other popular 3D formats? Autoconverter and Automesher Application offer powerful, high-precision STL file conversion to formats like STEP, OBJ, and SKP. These tools allow you to:
