Steps to Compress STL via Java
Java programmers can easily compress STL in just a few lines of code.
- Load STL file via the constructor of Scene class
- Define the output path of the compressed file
- Create an instance of SaveOptions
- Call the Scene.Save method with object

JAVA code to Compress STL
//The source file to be compressed and the output file after saving
String file = "template.stl";
String output = "outFile.fbx";
// create an instance of Scene
Scene scene = new Scene(file);
//Save the compressed format you want
scene.save(output, FileFormat.FBX7400ASCII);

Java 3D Scene Manipulation Library
Aspose.3D is a CAD and Gameware API to load, modify and convert 3D files. API is a standalone and does not require any any 3D modeling or rendering software. One can easily use API for Discreet3DS, WavefrontOBJ, STL (ASCII, Binary), Universal3D, FBX (ASCII, Binary), Collada, glTF, PLY, GLB, DirectX and more formats.STL What is STL File Format?
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. It represents a surface as a series of small triangles, known as facets, where each facet is described by a perpendicular direction and three points representing the vertices of the triangle.
