IFC to STL Converter
Convert your IFC files to STL format for free. No sign up or credit card required.
Quick answer: To convert IFC to STL, upload your IFC file and download the STL in seconds — free, in your browser, with no sign-up or watermark. Because STL stores only mesh geometry, textures and materials, scene hierarchy and real-world units are dropped.
Convert IFC files to STL format quickly and securely in your browser. Or skip the conversion entirely — browse free STL 3D models ready to download.

What is kept and what is lost converting IFC to STL?
| Property | In IFC | In STL |
|---|---|---|
| Mesh geometry | Yes | Kept |
| Materials & textures | Yes | Dropped |
| Scene hierarchy | Yes | Dropped |
| Real-world units | Yes | Dropped |
STL is a triangle-mesh format for 3D printing that stores only surface geometry — it has no concept of color, texture, materials or scene structure.

File format information for IFC and STL
Detailed information about the source and target file formats, including their capabilities and specifications.
IFC Format
IFC (Industry Foundation Classes): An open file format (.ifc) for Building Information Modeling (BIM), used in architecture and construction. It stores detailed building data, including geometry and properties, for interoperability.
IFC Converter Capabilities
When converting 3D model or mesh files using our IFC converter, we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.
STL Format
STL (Stereolithography): A file format (.stl) for 3D printing and CAD, representing surface geometry as a mesh of triangles. It's simple, widely supported, but lacks color or texture data.

About the IFC to STL converter
FurniMesh's IFC to STL converter runs entirely in your browser using a WebAssembly glTF/3D-mesh pipeline — your file never leaves your tab, and the conversion completes in seconds for typical furniture-model files. Materials, UV maps, and scene hierarchy are preserved wherever the STL format supports them (note: STL is a geometry-only format and discards materials by design). There's no sign-up (up to 20 conversions a day) and no watermark; files up to 50 MB — practical limits depend on your browser's available memory.
FurniMesh natively outputs four formats — GLB, OBJ, SKP (SketchUp 2017+), and BLEND (Blender 3.0+). Bridge conversion via this converter additionally produces FBX, STL, GLTF, 3DM (Rhino), PLY and OFF, and reads IFC, DAE, 3DS and 3MF files. Use the converter to bridge between supported formats — or skip the conversion step entirely if you don't have a source file yet (the FurniMesh library ships every model in all four native formats pre-rendered).
