FAQ
SVG to STL Conversion
What are SVG files?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an open standard vector format that uses the XML markup language and can contain animated or interactive graphics. The SVG format was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an organization promoting the development and interoperability of web products and offering such products freely. SVG files are supported by most web browsers and can be created with drawing programs or text editors.
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.
