DAE to STL Conversion: FAQ
What are DAE files?
DAE (Digital Asset Exchange) is a file extension used by COLLADA (Collaborative Design Activity) as a standard for interoperability between various software that support interactive 3D applications. COLLADA is a freely available standard owned by Sony and by the non-profit association Khronos Group, and it was adopted by a large number of 3D application developers, including Alias, Criterion and Autodesk.
What are STL files?
STL is the proprietary format for a computer-aided design (CAD) program developed by 3D Systems. STL is an acronym for Stereolitography, which is a type of technology used for creating prototypes or patterns through 3D printing. An STL file contains a surface representation of such a model, without detailed specifications of aspects such as colours. STL files can only be opened with a limited number of programs.
