Please note: Your USDZ file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted immediately after it is converted. Your converted file will be deleted 4 hours after upload, so please download it before this time.

Our 3D model USDZ to STL tool will load your USDZ file and, where supported, attempt to extract all the relevant 3D features, such as geometry, textures, and animations. To access the 3D conversion configuration options, click the button when you have selected your files. The current options support the ability to voxelize your 3D model and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my USDZ file to STL?

First, click the "Upload..." button and select your USDZ file to upload. Your USDZ file will be uploaded to our servers. When the USDZ to STL conversion has completed, you can download your STL file right away.

How long does it take to convert my USDZ to STL?

We aim to process all USDZ 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.

How accurate is the USDZ to STL conversion?

We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development, with new features being added every week.

How does converting USDZ to STL work?

In order to successfully convert an USDZ formatted file to the STL format, our converter tools will perform several initial checks to ensure the file provided is indeed an USDZ file. There are many files out there where the file type extension does not match the data contained within the file. Along with these file type checks, our tools will do additional checks to ensure the file is correctly formatted to match the provided file type. There are many tools out there that do not always create USDZ files to the exact specification.

Take your USDZ file

An USDZ file is a binary data file containing 3D data that makes up the 3D model, including vertices, faces, texture coordinates, and more. To guarantee efficient conversions, our tool will check all data that is contained within the USDZ file and remove any information that is duplicated. This not only ensures the conversion completes more quickly, but also the generated STL file size is smaller.

As the STL file format does not support material textures, our tool when processing the USDZ file will ignore any texture image files that may be present. It will also ignore any texture coordinate information present in the 3D model data.

Convert the data from USDZ to STL

Now that the data from the USDZ file has been processed, our tool can apply any conversion specified options, such as enabling Voxel mode, and with these applied, prepare the data to be converted to the final STL file format. Part of this process ensures checking the capabilities of the STL format and removing any data that cannot be represented.

Save to the STL format

At this point, the USDZ to STL conversion tool will have the 3D model in a state that is ready to be transferred to the STL format. Our tool creates the STL file, ensuring all the model data is present and is formatted to match the STL file specification to ensure the file opens in compatible STL file editors. To ensure a compact file size, our USDZ to STL converter will always save the STL file in a binary format.

File format information for USDZ and STL

Extension	USDZ
Full Name	Universal Scene Description
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary
Opens With	Blender

USDZ files are a 3D model format designed specifically for the exchange of 3D data between different systems within a standard and easy-to-implement format.

Within a USDZ file are the various data elements that make up the 3D model, including vertices, faces, normals, and texture coordinates. The format is basically a compressed ZIP file containing the 3D model data and any additional files such as texture image. Along with this basic geometry, other important information is stored, such as camera and other environmental properties.

Support for exporting 3D content to the USDZ format can be found in certain 3D modelling applications, such as Blender, Maya, and Houdini.

USDZ Converter Capabilities

When converting 3D model or mesh files using our USDZ converter, we will attempt to convert colour 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.

When converting your USDZ to STL, our tool will attempt to accurately convert any colour or material information.

Information for converting from USDZ to STL

Your USDZ file will be converted to a STL file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our USDZ 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals, and relevant material information. As both USDZ and STL support colour material information, our tool will also attempt to convert the colour information.
