What is a VTK file?
VTK (Visualization Toolkit) files are used to store data in scientific visualization and computational modeling. They can include structured and unstructured grids, scalar fields, and vector fields.
VTK is commonly used in academic research, medical imaging, and engineering analysis. It is supported by software like ParaView and 3D Slicer for high-performance data rendering.
How to open VTK files
VTK files can be opened with ParaView, 3D Slicer, and other tools designed for scientific visualization. They support structured data, meshes, and field values.
Convert VTK files using AnyConv to formats like OBJ or STL if you need to work with them in traditional 3D modeling environments.

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.
