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.

What is a DXF file?
DXF stands for Drawing Exchange Format and was created by Autodesk to facilitate data interoperability between AutoCAD and other software. Unlike DWG, DXF is an open format, often used to exchange design data between different CAD tools.
DXF files can store 2D and 3D data and are commonly used in CNC machining, laser cutting, and vector design. Their plain text structure makes them easier to interpret but can result in larger file sizes compared to binary formats.
How to open DXF files
DXF files can be opened with almost any CAD software, including AutoCAD, LibreCAD, SolidWorks, and CorelDRAW. Many vector editors and laser cutting tools also support DXF.
AnyConv makes it easy to convert DXF files to SVG, PDF, or other formats for broader compatibility.

- Full name: Drawing Exchange Format
- Extension: .dxf
- MIME type: application/dxf
- Developed by: Autodesk
- Initial release: 1982
