Convert your STL files to BLEND format. Free with a FurniMesh account — sign up with Google in seconds, no credit card. New accounts get 50 credits; each BLEND export uses 1.

Quick answer: To convert STL to BLEND, upload your STL file and download the BLEND — free with a FurniMesh account, no watermark. BLEND files are made on our server, so your file is uploaded for the conversion (up to 25 MB); each export uses 1 credit (new accounts get 50). Textures, UVs and scene data carry over where present in the source.

File Formats

File format information for STL and BLEND

Detailed information about the source and target file formats, including their capabilities and specifications.

STL Format

Extension:STL
Full Name:Stereolithography
Type:3D Model
Mime Type:model/stl
Format:Binary
Opens With:3D Printers, Slicing Software

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.

STL Converter Capabilities

When converting 3D model or mesh files using our STL converter, we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.

BLEND Format

Extension:BLEND
Full Name:Blender
Type:3D Model
Mime Type:application/x-blender
Format:Binary
Opens With:Blender

BLEND (Blender): A proprietary file format (.blend) used by Blender 3D software. It stores complete 3D scenes including geometry, materials, textures, animations, and lighting. Ideal for professional 3D modeling and animation workflows.

BLEND Converter Capabilities

When converting 3D model or mesh files using our BLEND converter, we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.

About the STL to BLEND converter

FurniMesh's STL to BLEND converter runs on our conversion server (your file is uploaded for the conversion), backed by the native Blender / SketchUp engines. Conversions complete within a 5-minute hard timeout per request; most furniture files finish in well under a minute. Materials, UV maps, and scene hierarchy are preserved wherever the BLEND format supports them. It's free with a FurniMesh account, with no watermark; server conversions accept files up to 25 MB.

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).
