Here are 2 simple steps to convert your ABC to STL using our fast and free ABC converter tool.
Extension | ABC |
Full Name | Alembic |
Type | 3D Model |
Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
Format | Binary |
Opens With | Blender |
The ABC file format is a 3D format created by Sony Pictures and Industrial Light & Magic. It has been designed to store 3D model information, including animations and other useful data that can be harnessed in the television and movie industries.
The format can store all the information required to represent a digital 3D world, including camera settings, 3D models, and all their associated geometry, such as vertices, normals, faces, textures, and other specialist materials that govern the rendered look of the model, along with all animation sequences.
Support for the ABC format can be found in all modern 3D modeling and rendering applications, including the ever-popular Blender, which offers both an import and export option for ABC files.

When converting 3D Model/Mesh files using our ABC converter we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.
Extension | STL |
Full Name | Standard Triangle Language |
Type | 3D Model |
Mime Type | application/vnd.ms-pki.stl |
Format | Text |
Opens With | Blender, MeshLab, CAD Assistant, DAZ Studio |
The STL, or Standard Triangle Language, file format has been around since the '80s and is supported by most modern 3D modelling applications. In particular, the STL format has become something of a standard format within the area of 3D printing, despite the rise of more modern formats such as 3MF.
STL files come in two flavours: binary or text format. The text format is human-readable, making it easy to perform manual edits, but can lead to very large file sizes. As you can imagine, the binary format is much more compact and represents the majority of the STL files you are likely to encounter.
The format itself is very simple; the 3D model is represented by a sequential list of triangles, with each triangle defined with 3 points consisting of their X, Y, and Z positions, along with an additional vector that contains the face normal (the direction the face is pointing). There is an additional attribute block for each triangle; however, this is largely unused and thus unsupported.
STL Converter Capabilities
When converting your ABC to STL our tool will attempt to accurately convert any color/material information.
Your ABC file will be converted to a STL file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our ABC 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals and relevant material information. As both ABC and STL support color material information our tool will also attempt to convert the color information too.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your ABC file to upload. Your ABC file will be uploaded to our servers. When the ABC to STL conversion has completed, you can download your STL file straight away.
We aim to process all ABC to STL conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds however this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.
We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development with new features being added every week.
