I am attempting to learn Blender which I think is probably the best free tool that I can use to accomplish my goal. As a result, STL files contain no scale information, and the units are arbitrary.I have a low poly helmet model that was auto generated by a tool. All STL coordinates were required to be positive numbers in the original specification, but this restriction is no longer enforced, and negative coordinates are commonly encountered in STL files today. Binary files are more common since they are more compact.Īn STL file describes a raw, unstructured triangulated surface by the unit normal and vertices (ordered by the right-hand rule) of the triangles using a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. The STL format specifies both ASCII and binary representations. STL files describe only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object without representing color, texture, or other common CAD model attributes. It is widely used for rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and computer-aided manufacturing. Many other software packages support this file format. STL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems.
In addition, you can use the Papakura Viewer free program to open PDO files.
Pepakura is compatible with such 3D formats as DXF, OBJ, 3DS, LWO, STL, KML, and KMZ. This file is used to print the design on paper that may then be folded and glued into the original three-dimensional model. Pepakura Designer (software that enables the user to produce papercraft models from 3D model data) is a digital origami file with a three-dimensional model and its corresponding two-dimensional paper cutout that includes the paper model's folding lines, cuts, and patterns. Model/stl, model/x.stl-ascii, model/x.stl-binary
