What STL and DAE files are
STL
STL is the standard file format for 3D printing. It describes a model's surface as a mesh of triangles without colour, texture or units, which keeps it simple and universally supported by slicers and CAD software.
DAE
DAE is the file extension of COLLADA, an open XML format maintained by the Khronos Group for moving 3D scenes between authoring tools. It carries geometry, materials, skeletons and animation, while glTF is the Khronos format meant for delivering finished models to apps and the web. Blender dropped DAE support in version 5.0.
