Format Support: Visualize 3D STL Data with Afanche3D
STL (STereoLithography) is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. It is one of the most popular 3D formats. STL format is supported by almost all popular 3D applications, including Maya, CATIA, SolidWorks, and many others. It is widely used in 3D scanning, 3D printing, CAD, CAE, PLM, medical and many other industries. STL file could be in ASCII or binary format. Afanche3D provides complete support for both of them.
