FAQ
TPKX to STL Conversion
What are TPKX files?
TPKX is the tile package format of Esri's ArcGIS platform, used to take a map or an image collection offline. A package is a single compressed file that contains a large number of small square map tiles, prepared in advance at several zoom levels, together with a description of how those tiles are laid out on the Earth. Because the tiles are already rendered, a program can show the map very quickly without any processing, even without a network connection, which makes the format popular for basemaps in field and mobile applications. It is the newer version of the older .tpk format, and it works better when files are stored on network shares and in cloud storage.
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.
