What are XGL files?
XGL is a vector file format storing 3D models created using different types of computer-aided design programs. The extension was first launched in the 1990s by RealityWave Corp., later on acquired by Aveva, and it is currently seen is archaic. XGL files contain 3D data using the XML OpenGL application programming interface (API) format.
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.
