An STL file stores information about 3D models. It is commonly used for printing 3D objects. The STL format approximates 3D surfaces of a solid model with oriented triangles (facets) of different size and shape (aspect ratio) in order to achieve a representation suitable for viewing or reproduction using digital fabrication. This format describes only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object without any representation of color, texture, or other common model attributes. These files are usually generated as an end product of a 3D modeling or spatial capture process. The purpose of this primer is to guide a data curator through the curation process for STL files.
