What is a LWO file?
LWO (LightWave Object) is the native 3D model format used by LightWave 3D, a professional modeling and animation package. It stores 3D geometry, surface properties, UV maps, and material settings.
LWO was known for its advanced rendering features and was used in television, film, and game development. Although LightWave has declined in popularity, the format is still supported by various 3D tools and importers.
How to open LWO files
LWO files can be opened with LightWave 3D, and many modern 3D programs support them via plugins or importers, including Blender and Cinema 4D.
Use AnyConv to convert LWO to OBJ, FBX, or STL if your modeling tool does not support LWO directly.

What is a STL file?
STL (Stereolithography) is one of the most common 3D file formats used for 3D printing. It describes the surface geometry of a 3D object without including color, texture, or other attributes.
STL files are supported by virtually all 3D printers and modeling software. They are lightweight and easy to process, making them the go-to choice for rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing.
How to open STL files
STL files can be opened in most 3D modeling and slicing programs such as Blender, Cura, TinkerCAD, and Fusion 360. They are essential for 3D printing workflows.
Use AnyConv to convert STL files to formats like OBJ or STEP for further editing or integration with CAD systems.
