   STL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. [3] [4] [5] Chuck Hull, the inventor of stereolithography and 3D Systems’ founder, reports that the file extension is an abbreviation for stereolithography, [6] although it is also referred to as standard triangle language or standard tessellation language.

3. FDM printing file formats - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FDM_Printing_file_formats

   In the context of FDM printing, STEP files are often used during the design phase, where detailed and accurate models are created in CAD software. These models are sometimes compatible with slicing software, but are usually converted into more specialized 3D printing formats like STL or 3MF for the printing process. [13]

4. 3D printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing

   3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. [1] [2] [3] It can be done in a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control, [4] with the material being added together (such as plastics, liquids or powder grains being fused), typically layer by layer.

   This change allowed for more integration with third-party CAD applications. [5] Development is hosted on GitHub. [3] Ultimaker Cura is used by over one million users worldwide and handles 1.4 million print jobs per week. It is the preferred 3D printing software for Ultimaker 3D printers, but it can be used with other printers as well. [6] [5] [7]

6. FreeCAD - Wikipedia
