2. STL (file format) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_(file_format)

   STL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. [3] [4] [5] Chuck Hull, the inventor of stereolithography and 3D Systems’ founder, reports that the file extension is an abbreviation for stereolithography, [6] although it is also referred to as standard triangle language or standard tessellation language.

3. Slicer (3D printing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slicer_(3D_printing)

   A slicer is a toolpath generation software used in 3D printing. It facilitates the conversion of a 3D object model to specific instructions for the printer. The slicer converts a model in STL (stereolithography) format into printer commands in G-code format. This is particularly usable in fused filament fabrication and other related 3D printing ...

4. 3D printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing

   3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. [1] [2] [3] It can be done in a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control, [4] with the material being added together (such as plastics, liquids or powder grains being fused), typically layer by layer.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereolithography

   Stereolithography (SLA or SL; also known as vat photopolymerisation, [1] optical fabrication, photo-solidification, or resin printing) is a form of 3D printing technology used for creating models, prototypes, patterns, and production parts in a layer by layer fashion using photochemical processes by which light causes chemical monomers and ...

7. FDM printing file formats - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FDM_Printing_file_formats

   The lack of support for complex data like color and materials means that STL files are best suited for basic 3D printing tasks. Additionally, because STL files use an approximation of the model's surface, a printed STL file may be inaccurate compared to the CAD geometry, and high-resolution models can result in very large file sizes.
