The file is created with the .stl file name extension. The STL file format is
compatible with stereolithography apparatus (SLA). The solid data is transferred
to the SLA as a faceted representation of the model. The facets consist of a set
of triangles (with outward pointing normals) that approximate the faces of
the model. From the faceted data, the SLA workstation produces a set of
contours that defines a series of layers representing the part to be built.
