Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing
STL, or Standard Tessellation Language, is a widely used file format in 3D printing that represents the geometry of a 3D model through a series of triangular facets. It serves as a bridge between computer-aided design (CAD) software and additive manufacturing processes, ensuring that models are accurately interpreted by 3D printers. The simplicity of the STL format allows it to be utilized in various slicing software and G-code generation, making it fundamental in the workflow of 3D printing and also paving the way for more advanced formats like AMF and 3MF.
congrats on reading the definition of STL. now let's actually learn it.
