STL is a generic file format for storing 3D and CAD data created by 3D Systems, a 3D printing technology called stereolitography. STL file stores 3D object data in text or binary format.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the PTX file after converting to STL may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from PTX to STL to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting PTX to STL does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in PTX format, properly converted to a STL file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file PTX the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of PTX file to other than STL. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your PTX file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to STL on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the PTX file in its original format (without conversion to STL file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
