FAQ
STL to PCL Conversion
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.
What are PCL files?
PCL (Printer Command Language) is a format associated with Hewlett-Packard printers, containing a standardized protocol that facilitates communication between computers and printers. PCL files contain commands related to features such as: drawing tools, font rendering, macros, Unicode symbols, raster areas etc.
