- A PK3 file is an archive used by the Quake 3 and Quake Live gaming engines. It stores game data such as textures, sounds, models, and maps in a compressed format. PK3 files can be opened and extracted with WinZip, WinRAR, or 7-Zip on Windows, and with The Unarchiver on macOS.
- 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.
