- Description
- 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.
- An ICO file is an image format used to store icons for Windows programs, files, and folders. It contains two bitmaps: 1) the AND bitmap - the image mask (which determines what part of the icon is transparent) and 2) the XOR bitmap - contains the icon which is mapped onto the image mask. ICO files can be modified to create custom icons.
