Overview

How to Convert STL to GLB Using Python

In order to convert STL to GLB, we’ll use Aspose.CAD for Python API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use document manipulation and conversion API for Python platform. Open NPM package manager, search for Aspose.CAD and install. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console.

Package Manager Console Command


pip install aspose-cad

Steps to Convert STL to GLB via Python

Python programmers can easily load & convert STL files to GLB in just a few lines of code.

  1. Load STL file with Image.Load method
  2. Create an instance of GlbOptions class
  3. Call Image.Save method while passing the resultant file path & object of GlbOptions

System Requirements

Before running the Python conversion code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

  • Microsoft Windows or a compatible OS with Web browser.
  • Text editors such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code or Notepad or Notepad++.

    Aspose.CAD for Python allows you to read, manipulate, process and export any CAD or BIM drawing file into various vector and raster formats without using AutoCAD or any other additional software. It’s multi-thread safe, cross-OS compatible, allows you to track export progress, and handle individual layers and layouts. Developers can select and convert specific layouts and layers from AutoCAD files and easily track the file conversion process.

    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. Resultant data is used by applications to determine the cross section of the 3D shape to be built by the fabber. There is no information available in the STL file format for representation of colour, texture or other common CAD model attributes.

    GLB What is GLB File Format?

    GLB is the binary file format representation of 3D models saved in the GL Transmission Format (glTF). Information about 3D models such as node hierarchy, cameras, materials, animations and meshes in binary format. This binary format stores the glTF asset (JSON, .bin and images) in a binary blob. It also avoids the issue of increase in file size which happens in case of glTF. GLB file format results in compact file sizes, fast loading, complete 3D scene representation, and extensibility for further development. The format uses model/gltf-binary as MIME type.
