File Extension | CGR |
Full Name | CATIA MultiCAx Plug-in Conversion Format |
CGR file format is used for editing purposes by CAD/CAM/FEM software developed by CATIA. Adobe Acrobat Pro offers option to embed this type of files in PDF documents. CATIA software is used by many well-known design companies, such as Airbus or Cessna. Simple file structure of CGR format effects in short data load times.
File Extension | STL |
Full Name | Stereolithography Format |
The .STL extension refers to files of the type, Stereolithography files. It is a native file format for CAD software that are based on stereolithography. There are many community developed and supported packages that work with the STL file and language for CAD.The STL file is mostly used for rapid prototyping and contains usually 3D modeling data.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "CGR") to another (referred to as "STL"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, CGR file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format CGR to format STL becomes essential.
So, how can we perform CGR to STL file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format CGR and transforming it into format STL. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of CGR to STL converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of CGR to STL. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the CGR file:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
