GstarCAD to STL Conversion
Get it done in a flash - export GstarCAD drawings to STL with three quick steps:
Install Automesher Application
Export STL mesh files directly from GstarCAD 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 GstarCAD 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.

GstarCAD - Convert DWG Drawings
GstarCAD, developed by Gstarsoft, is a powerful and cost-effective CAD software solution, known for its high compatibility with the DWG file format. DWG files are widely used to store 2D and 3D design data in architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing industries.
Key Features of GstarCAD and DWG Files
- Robust CAD Tools: Design precise 2D drawings and detailed 3D models using GstarCAD's comprehensive drafting and modeling features.
- Native DWG Support: Open, edit, and save .dwg files natively to maintain accuracy and ensure seamless collaboration across platforms.
- Customization and Automation: Optimize workflows with support for AutoLISP, VBA, and GRX APIs to automate repetitive tasks and extend functionality.
Convert DWG Files to 3D and GIS Formats
Boost GstarCAD's capabilities with our Automesher Application and Automapki Application. These tools enable the import and export of popular 3D formats like STL, OBJ, SKP, FBX, and STEP, along with GIS formats such as SHP, KML, and GeoJSON. Integrate 3D models and spatial data directly into your GstarCAD projects with ease.
Convert DWG files and bring real-world context into your CAD environment - streamline your BIM and GIS workflows with powerful GstarCAD-compatible file conversion tools.
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.
