- A LightWave 3D Scene file (LWS) is a text-based file format used to store 3D scene data created with NewTek's LightWave 3D animation software. It includes information about objects, lights, cameras, surfaces, and other 3D scene components. LWS files can be opened and edited with LightWave 3D.
- 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.
