What software do I need to use to create a 3D wireframe of an object such an imported stl?

Essentially, I’d like to create something like this out of an existing stl (preferably) or created by hand if needed?

    I’m not quite sure what you’re asking. Are you wanting to take an existing .stl file and create from it an .stl file with, say, cylinders where all the edges in the original .stl file are?

      Say I have an stl of car. I would like to take that stl and import it into , push some buttons and sprinkle fairy dust to create a wireframe of said car (like in the link provided in the post) the export that wireframe to an stl, svg, or whatever I can to be used on my laser or printer.

      Alternatively, if such “import” feature does not exist, then use to manually create the wireframe of a car then export it the same way as above.

        An STL by definition is a triangle mesh already. Blender has plugins to import and export STL files and all kinds of other file types.

          Okay that sounds like importing/exporting an stl should be an easy task. Let’s hope it is for me hahaha
