STL to DWG
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to STL and DWG interoperability and exchange that could help you with the STL to DWG 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
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.
DWG AutoCAD File
DWG (AutoCAD Drawing) binary file format is developed by Autodesk company but it's supported also in other software packages e.g. ZWCAD, BricsCAD and IntelliCAD. Indeed DWG files are the standard now in the overall CAD industry. To support DWG files conversion into other 3D file formats we have developed the Automesher Application which runs as a plugin in your favorite DWG editor. It means that you need to have your DWG drawing editor installed first before using our software to convert to or from DWG file format.
