What types of files can I send over or submit?

Last updated: 2026-04-09

For 3D printing, the .STL format is the standard, similar to how PDFs are commonly used in 2D document sharing. We also accept .OBJ files and can often convert other file types to STL using our software.

In some cases, certain file formats may be difficult to export properly if they require extensive geometry repair or are from unsupported native programs. However, we're happy to review your file and assess its suitability for conversion and printing.
