| Abstract: | Since its introduction in the 1980s, the stereolithography file format has been an indispensable element of the digital manufacturing chain and serves as a standard for data exchange in additive manufacturing processes. This paper analyses the structural properties, functional capabilities and inherent limitations of this format, with particular emphasis on its application in digital dentistry and dental technology. The text highlights the dual representation options offered by the American Standard Code for Information Exchange and binary formats, comparatively evaluating their syntactic and semantic characteristics, storage efficiency and processing speed. Particular attention is paid to potential error sources in the stereolithography format, including topological anomalies, lattice errors and data format inconsistencies that can substantially impact the manufacturing process. In addition, security-relevant aspects such as vulnerabilities to code injections, challenges in authenticity validation and issues of intellectual property protection are discussed. In the context of advancing technological development, this work presents alternative formats such as the additive manufacturing, 3D manufacturing, standard for the exchange of product model data and wavefront object formats, along with their specific advantages and disadvantages. The conclusions indicate a gradual transition to semantically richer formats, while stereolithography remains dominant for the time being due to its simplicity and universal software support, especially in established industrial digital manufacturing workflows.
