Members DrmCa Posted December 19, 2019 Members Report Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) STL is only 3D when you need it to be. It is just a bunch of triangle coordinates and if they all lie on a flat surface then you get a 2D. the fact that you do not always need solid lines but a bit map is a different story. And the use of STL is not limited to the 3D printing industry. It is just a common format for any models be it 3D or 2D.
