Convert B3D to STL

The B3D file extension stands for Blitz3D Model, used primarily in the Blitz3D programming language for creating 3D video games. Introduced in 2001 by Blitz Research Ltd., Blitz3D extended the capabilities of its predecessor, BlitzBasic, by incorporating a DirectX 7-based 3D engine. B3D files store 3D model data, including textures, vertices, meshes, bones, and animation information, in a chunk-based format. These files are essential for defining in-game characters, terrains, buildings, and other objects, making them a crucial component in game development. Blitz3D's ease of use and flexibility have made it a popular choice among game developers, despite being considered somewhat outdated compared to modern 3D engines.

STL, short for Stereolithography, is a widely used file format in the realm of 3D printing and computer-aided design (CAD). Introduced by 3D Systems in 1987, it represents the surfaces of a 3D object through a collection of triangles, facilitating precise and efficient model creation. Utilized across various industries such as engineering, manufacturing, and healthcare, STL files are critical for prototyping and producing complex geometries. Their simplicity and compatibility with numerous software applications have cemented STL's importance in the digital fabrication landscape.
