FAQ
SCU to STL Conversion
What are SCU files?
SCU is the project format of eCAL, a design and cutting application that Craft Edge built on its Sure Cuts A Lot engine for the Sizzix eClips family of electronic cutting machines. An SCU file is an XML document that stores the complete layout of a cutting job, including vector shapes with their Bezier paths, text, groups and transformations, layer and stroke settings, page and cutting mat dimensions, and the target machine profile. An embedded PNG thumbnail and a set of project notes with author, category and keyword fields are usually saved alongside the artwork. Files with this extension are commonly found in commercial template libraries for vinyl, cardstock, heat transfer film and device screen protectors. The same extension was also used many years ago by ColoRIX for raster images, so SCU files should be identified by their content rather than by their name alone.
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.
