Page guide

Turn an STL mesh into an OBJ file for your next 3D workflow.

How to use STL to OBJ
  1. Choose a file in STL.
  2. Review the settings, then choose Convert file.
  3. Review the result, then use Copy result or a download link when available.

Working with stl to obj

Maker utilities prepare models and dimensions for another application or machine. File conversion is only part of the workflow: scale, orientation and geometry can affect whether the result is usable.

Common questions

Can a model look correct and still fail to print?

Yes. Open surfaces, thin walls, overlapping geometry and unsupported features can cause problems that are not obvious from one view.

Does converting a mesh add detail?

No. A conversion does not recover geometry that was absent from the original. Check whether materials, textures and scene information are supported by the destination format.
