SKP to STL
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to the SKP and STL interoperability and exchange that can help you with the SKP to STL conversion.

SKP SketchUp File
SKP (SketchUp) file format for a long period of time was maintained by Google, but currently it is actively developed by Trimble company. The SKP file allows to store reusable geometry component instances, named mesh groups and materials with texture images. It's important to note that the Win32 build is no longer available from the SKP file version 16 onwards. Therefore, it is recommended to use the Win64 build to convert the most recent SketchUp models. With the Autoconverter software you can save SKP files to any file version you require, from the early SKP version 3 to the recent 2022.
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.
