CraftWare is a free STL to G-code converter software for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS. This software can generate the G-code of a 3D model present in an STL file or any other supported file format like OBJ, 3MF, CWP, etc. STL Stereolithography. STL, abbreviation for stereolithrography, is an interchangeable file format that represents 3-dimensional surface geometry. The file format finds its usage in several fields such as rapid prototyping, 3D printing and computer-aided manufacturing. First you need to add file for conversion: drag and drop your STL file or click the 'Choose File' button. Then click the 'Convert' button. When STL to IGES conversion is completed, you can download your IGES file. ⏱️ How long does it take to convert STL to IGES?

It must be explained, and understood, that there are 3 completely different versions of IGES:

  1. The obsolete 1980's 'Bounded Surfaces'
  2. The obsolete 1990's 'Surfaced NURBS'
  3. The post-2000's 'BREP Manifold Solids'

As the #1 epidemic of a problem in the conversion world today, it is very common for 3D graphics users to receive their IGES files as the long obsolete 1990's version of 'Surfaced NURBS'. Rather, you absolutely must source your IGES files as the modern 'BREP Manifold Solids' variant. It will make a night and day difference in the quality, fidelity and robustness of your IGES file conversions.

If you source your files as the the old-school, 1990's 'Surfaced NURBS' variant of IGES then you will encounter the following common issues, due to the fact that such IGES files only have a loose 'soup' of NURBS geometric surfaces:

  1. Geometry objects exploded into thousands of single pieces
  2. 'Patch cracking' between adjacent faces
  3. Randomly oriented faces
  4. Randomly oriented geometric face normals
  5. Shading anomalies and black banding
  6. Overlapping geometry

The solution is rather simple and straightforward: when IGES files are to be used, ask your vendor to choose the export option for 'BREP Manifold Solids', or use a STEP AP214 file. The 'BREP topology' information which is output to such modern variants of IGES will overcome all of the issues listed above.

Type of format
DescriptionSTL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. This file format is supported by many other software packages. It is widely used for rapid prototyping, 3D printing and computer-aided manufacturing. STL files describe only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object without any representation of color, texture or other common CAD model attributes. The STL format specifies both ASCII and binary representations. Binary files are more common, since they are more compact.The Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) is a vendor-neutral file format that allows the digital exchange of information among computer-aided design (CAD) systems. Using IGES, a CAD user can exchange product data models in the form of circuit diagrams, wireframe, freeform surface or solid modeling representations. Applications supported by IGES include traditional engineering drawings, models for analysis, and other manufacturing functions.
Technical detailsAn STL file describes a raw, unstructured triangulated surface by the unit normal and vertices (ordered by the right-hand rule) of the triangles using a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. In the original specification, all STL coordinates were required to be positive numbers, but this restriction is no longer enforced and negative coordinates are commonly encountered in STL files today. STL files contain no scale information, and the units are arbitrary.The chief advantage of IGES is that it is unencumbered by licensing, i.e. it's free. Which is probably why it's still everywhere after all these years. But all meaningful development of IGES stopped in 1996 at version 5.3. It's likely time to leave IGES behind for good. Especially in light of continued evolution of STEP.
