An EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) file is a graphics file format commonly used for storing and exchanging high-quality vector images, illustrations, and graphics. It was developed by Adobe Systems and is widely supported across various software applications, making it a popular choice in the design and printing industries. Unlike raster image formats, which store images as a grid of pixels, EPS files use mathematical formulas to represent shapes and lines, ensuring that the images remain sharp and scalable without losing quality, regardless of their size. EPS files can include both vector graphics and bitmap images, making them versatile for different design needs.

The "Encapsulated" in EPS refers to its ability to encapsulate or package all the elements of an image, including fonts, graphics, and other resources, into a single file. This feature ensures that the image will be accurately reproduced on different systems, as long as they support PostScript language interpretation. As a result, EPS files are commonly used for print-ready artwork, logos, and illustrations, as they maintain their quality and integrity when resized or printed on different output devices.

EPS files can be opened and edited using various graphics editing software, such as Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW. However, to view EPS files without specialized software, they can be converted to other more common image formats like JPEG or PNG. Overall, EPS files are a reliable and widely used format for sharing and preserving high-quality vector graphics, making them an essential asset in professional design workflows.

An STL file, short for Stereolithography, is a widely used file format in 3D printing and computer-aided design (CAD) applications. It serves as a standard method to represent the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object. The format was first developed by 3D Systems in 1987 and has since become a fundamental file type in the additive manufacturing industry. STL files are essential in the process of converting digital 3D models into physical objects through 3D printing technology.

STL files consist of a collection of triangular facets that approximate the shape of the 3D model. The surface of the object is divided into numerous small triangles, forming a mesh representation. Each triangle is defined by three vertices in 3D space and possesses information about its orientation and size. Since STL files store only the outer surface of the model, they are often referred to as "mesh" files or "surface" files, as they lack information about the object's internal structure or color.

When using STL files for 3D printing, slicing software processes the 3D model by dividing it into layers and creating the instructions for the 3D printer to build the object layer by layer. Despite its simplicity and widespread usage, STL files have some limitations. They do not support color or texture information, and the triangle-based representation can lead to larger file sizes and reduced accuracy compared to other file formats. Nonetheless, STL remains a vital format in the 3D printing ecosystem due to its simplicity and compatibility with a wide range of 3D printers and software.

Information for converting from EPS to STL

Our EPS converter will convert your EPS file to a 3D model using the Heightmap process whereby 2D pixels, based on their luminosity, are converted into 3D space to create a full 3D STL model ready for download for further processing in your favourite 3D editing package or for printing on a 3D printer.
