They usually contain information on the material characteristics, lighting and coloring, and measurements of the objects. 3D drawing CAD Data files are used in 3D printing, animation, and engineering projects.
- Stl is the standard 3D data transmission file format mainly used for 3D printing. STL contains surface geometry descriptions of 3D objects and it uses a series of triangles to describe the surface geometry of a 3D model.
