About STL Format

STL (Stereolithography) is the standard file format for 3D printing. It represents 3D surface geometry as a mesh of triangles, without color or texture information. Supported by virtually all 3D printing software and services.

About PLY Format

PLY (Polygon File Format) stores 3D scanned data including vertex positions, colors, and normals. It is commonly used in 3D scanning, photogrammetry, and scientific visualization.
