The eternal file format war rages on! The 3D printing community's fierce rivalry between STL (stereolithography) files and newer formats like IGS and STEP has been perfectly captured in Family Guy form. STL is the cranky older format screaming about superiority complexes, while IGS and STEP sit there in fancy top hats like the sophisticated geometric representation methods they are. Truth bomb: STL uses triangles to approximate surfaces while STEP/IGS store actual mathematical curves and surfaces. The engineering nerds are FIGHTING and I'm here for it! 🔺➡️🔄
