Once the conversion is complete, you can find your STL files in the destination folder you selected.

How FITS and STL differ in practice

FITS is made of pixels and STL is a geometry format, so the two describe images in fundamentally different ways. Check the result before sending it downstream: what matters is whether the output contains editable geometry or a picture placed inside a STL container, and that determines whether a CAD or design tool can work with it. One FITS file can hold several pages or frames, while STL holds one image each. reaConverter writes a separate output file per page and numbers them, so a single input can produce a whole folder of results.

FITS to STL Conversion: FAQ

What are FITS files?

The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) format is a standard format used particularly for storing, transferring and processing scientific images from fields such as astronomy. FITS was first launched as an open standard in the early 1980s and has gone through several subsequent upgrades. FITS files contain not just images, but also data related to photometry and spatial calibration, and information about the origin of the image. Similar formats include FIT and FTS.

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.
