What each common 3D format stores, what it is best used for, and how to open it in your browser.
STL format
→
STL describes the surface of a 3D object as a list of triangles. It is the standard input format for 3D printing slicers.
STEP format
→
STEP is the standard neutral format for exchanging exact 3D CAD geometry between different CAD systems.
GLB format
→
GLB is the single-file, binary form of glTF 2.0: meshes, materials, textures and animations packed into one file that loads fast on the web.
glTF format
→
glTF is the Khronos open standard for delivering 3D scenes and models, often called the JPEG of 3D.
FBX format
→
FBX is an Autodesk format for exchanging 3D scenes with meshes, materials, skeletons and animation between content tools and game engines.
