The following materials, including the names of companies and graphical user interfaces featured in the screenshots, have been used for educational purposes only. The method of exporting STL files differs from one program to another and therefore we’ve prepared an extensive list of CAD programs along with instructions on generating an STL file which you want to process in Z-SUITE, and then 3D print with one of the Zortrax printers. There is a variety of 3D modeling programs on the market right now and they all allow to convert the design into an STL file once designing is completed.
However, apart from downloading 3D models from the Internet, you can design models in any CAD program of your choice. The STL file, which represents a design of a 3D model as a set of connected triangles, has to be ultimately processed in the slicing software, before it is actually 3D printed. Among many popular file types containing a three-dimensional object, such as OBJ, 3MF or DXF, the STL type has become the most common. Working with STL files is an integral part of 3D printing and rapid prototyping.
