FAQ
HP1 to STL Conversion
What are HP1 files?
An .hp1 file is an old-school format used by HP plotters to print technical drawings. Think of it like a set of instructions telling a machine how to draw lines, shapes, and text. While not as common today, you might still find these files in vintage engineering projects—thankfully, they can be easily converted to modern formats like PDF or SVG.
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.
