Between Dec 19, 2024 and Jan 2, 2025, datasets can be submitted to DRUM but will not be processed until after the break. Staff will not be available to answer email during this period, and will not be able to provide DOIs until after Jan 2. If you are in need of a DOI during this period, consider Dryad or OpenICPSR. Submission responses to the UDC may also be delayed during this time.

    STL Data Curation Primer
    (Data Curation Network, 2020-01-17) Blackwood, Elizabeth; Joubert, Doug; Sobczak, James
    An STL file stores information about 3D models. It is commonly used for printing 3D objects. The STL format approximates 3D surfaces of a solid model with oriented triangles (facets) of different size and shape (aspect ratio) in order to achieve a representation suitable for viewing or reproduction using digital fabrication. This format describes only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object without any representation of color, texture, or other common model attributes. These files are usually generated as an end product of a 3D modeling or spatial capture process. The purpose of this primer is to guide a data curator through the curation process for STL files.
