FAQ
REL to STL Conversion
What are REL files?
REL is the metadata file of the MiraMon raster format. MiraMon is a geographic information system and remote sensing program developed in Catalonia at CREAF, a research center linked to the Autonomous University of Barcelona. A MiraMon raster is stored in two kinds of files: the image data in one or several .img files, and a text file whose name ends in I.rel, which describes how to read them. It tells how many rows and columns the image has, what the pixel values are, how the bands are named, how the picture is compressed, where it lies on the Earth, and how it should be colored by default. It can also hold information about the origin and quality of the data. A single .rel file can tie together a whole multiband image, such as a satellite scene.
What are STL files?
STL is the proprietary format for a computer-aided design (CAD) program developed by 3D Systems. STL is an acronym for Stereolitography, which is a type of technology used for creating prototypes or patterns through 3D printing. An STL file contains a surface representation of such a model, without detailed specifications of aspects such as colours. STL files can only be opened with a limited number of programs.
Can reaConverter convert REL to STL?
Yes! reaConverter instantly converts .rel to .stl with perfect quality preservation. With its batch processing feature, you can convert multiple files at once in just a few clicks. You can even convert images directly from Windows Explorer using the right-click menu — fast and convenient.
What is reaConverter used for?
reaConverter is a Windows converter for 800+ formats, GIS data among them. For REL to STL it replaces the usual detour through QGIS, ArcGIS or ogr2ogr: add the files, pick the output format, and the whole batch converts offline. Surveyors, planners and engineering teams use it to pass data between GIS, CAD and everyday document formats.
Why choose offline conversion with reaConverter?
reaConverter is a software program that is used for offline files conversion. Your proprietary documents never leave your computer – essential for architects, engineers, healthcare and government contractors handling classified projects. Meets GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, and corporate security policies by ensuring files never cross borders or third-party systems.
