Caligari trueSpace 3D Object (.cob)

The COB file extension stands for Caligari trueSpace 3D Object, a proprietary format used by the trueSpace 3D modeling and animation software. Introduced by Caligari Corporation, trueSpace was popular in the 1990s and early 2000s for creating and rendering 3D graphics. COB files store 3D geometry, material properties, and other relevant details, enabling efficient optimization and rendering of 3D models. This format played a significant role in the development of 3D graphics and animation during its peak usage.

Stereolithography File (.stl)

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.
