Convert STL to SAB

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 Extension SAB
Full Name 3D ACIS Binary Format

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "STL") to another (referred to as "SAB"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, STL 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 STL to format SAB becomes essential.

So, how can we perform STL to SAB 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 STL and transforming it into format SAB. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of STL to SAB converters.

How to convert the STL file to SAB?

If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of STL to SAB. 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 STL file:

  • Please indicate on your computer the source file STL, the format of which you are going to change
  • Load the STL file to the application
  • Select the output format of the SAB file (the one that we want to achieve)
  • Select the location to save the output file SAB on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
  • Confirm conversion
  • Wait for a moment
  • Enjoy the converted SAB file that can be found in the location selected in step 4
