STL to X
Enclosed is a selection of useful resources related to the interoperability and exchange of STL and X files. These can be instrumental in facilitating the conversion from STL to X file.

STL File
The STL (STereoLithography) file format, developed by 3D Systems, a global leader in the 3D printing industry, exclusively contains triangular mesh data. It does not include information on face color, texture, transparency, and named groups. Although it is possible to assign RGB color values to individual vertices, it’s important to note that our STL file converter, Autoconverter software, currently does not support this extension. STL files can be saved in either binary or ASCII text formats, with the binary format being preferred due to its significant reduction in file size. Additionally, it’s worth noting that triangles in STL files are always defined in millimeters, and our STL converter will perform the necessary units conversion if required.
X Direct3D File
The X (DirectX) file format is the original interchange format for DirectX technology, developed by Microsoft in 1995 alongside the release of Windows 95. The X file format can store mesh geometry along with material information, including texture images. With our Autoconverter and Automesher Application software products, you can effortlessly convert X files into your native 3D modeling environment. Additionally, our X file converters support reverse conversion, enabling you to convert your native files into the X file format.
