    This document describes the ASCII and binary STL file formats commonly used to represent 3D models. The ASCII format specifies that each facet is defined by a normal vector and three vertices. It also provides an example of an ASCII STL file. The binary format stores the same geometric data but in binary form, with floating point numbers for coordinates and normals, and fill bytes added for padding.
