What File Format Are Acceptable?

SVG FILE

💡 What Is an SVG File?

An SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) is a digital design file that’s perfect for crafting! Unlike regular images (like JPG or PNG), SVGs can be resized without losing quality—so whether you're cutting something tiny or big, the lines stay crisp and clean.

✅ What Can I Use an SVG For?

You can upload SVG files into most popular crafting software and cutting machines like:

·         Cricut Design Space

·         Silhouette Studio

🛠️ Common Uses:

·         Vinyl cutting for t-shirts, mugs, & signs

·         Custom stickers & decals

🔁 Editable & Customizable

SVGs can be opened in programs like Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, or Affinity Designer if you want to tweak the size, color, or layout.

STL FILE

🧩 What Is an STL File?

An STL file is a 3D design file that tells a 3D printer what to print.

Think of it like a digital mold or blueprint for a physical object. It contains all the shape and structure info, but no colors or textures—just the shape.

🛠 What Does "STL" Stand For?

Stereolithography – a fancy word for one of the first 3D printing methods. But you don’t need to remember that—just know it’s the most common 3D file format used for printing.

📦 What Can You Do With an STL?

Open it in 3D software like Cura, PrusaSlicer, or Creality Print

Slice it into layers your printer can understand

Print it on a 3D printer using filament (usually plastic like PLA or PETG)

🧵 Common Uses:

3D-printed trays, toppers, charms, organizers, and more

Custom tools or accessories

Prototypes or product samples

Fun things like keychains, toys, or cosplay parts!

⚠️ Keep in Mind:

STL files do not include color—just the shape

You'll need a slicer program to prepare it for your printer

It’s a digital file, not a physical item
