There are two storage formats available for STL files, which are ASCII and BINARY.
The STL File – Storage Format
ASCII file is human-readable and can be modified by a text editor if required.
However, The large size of its files makes it impractical for general use.
Binary file is a computer -readable file in which each character position can hold
any one of 256 different binary codes.
In order to save time and file size always export your STL file
as a Binary
file (6 to 1 ratio)
