VRML to STL
Provided below is a curated list of supplementary resources focusing on the interoperability and exchange between VRML and STL files. Leverage these to streamline the VRML to STL file conversion.

VRML File
The VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is an ASCII file format used to store 3D objects along with additional attributes such as light sources, materials, textures, and world transformations. These elements are crucial for rendering the entire 3D scene in a web browser. It’s important to note that the modern and more advanced replacement for VRML is the X3D file format. With our Autoconverter and Automesher Application products, you can import and export VRML files, and convert them into various other file formats. However, please be aware that material textures are only processed for IndexedFaceSet shape geometries saved in the VRML 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.
