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.
MeshLab is a free Windows, Linux and macOS application for visualizing, simplifying, processing, and converting large three-dimensional meshes to or from a variety of 3D file formats. MetaCreations Detailer and Painter 3D are discontinued software applications specifically for painting texture maps on 3-D Models.
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.
Following is a list of notable software, computer programs, used to develop a mathematical representation of any three dimensional surface of objects, as 3D computer graphics, also called 3D modeling.
The table does not include software that is still in development (beta software). For all-purpose 3D programs, see Comparison of 3D computer graphics software. CAD refers to a specific type of drawing and modelling software application that is used for creating designs and technical drawings.
Art of Illusion is a free software, and open source software package [1] for making 3D graphics. [2] It provides tools for 3D modeling, texture mapping, and 3D rendering still images and animations. Art of Illusion can also export models for 3D printing in the STL file format. [3] [4]
Free and open-source software portal; Slic3r is free software 3D slicing engine for 3D printers.It generates G-code from 3D CAD files (STL or OBJ). Once finished, an appropriate G-code file for the production of the 3D modeled part, or object is sent to the 3D printer for the manufacturing of a physical object.
