What is an S3G file?

The S3G file extension is used to store instructions for printing the objects in 3D models that have been staged for 3D printing using MakerBot Desktop and printed with MakerBot Replicator, a 3D printer. The 3D objects referenced by the S3G file references models stored as OBJ or STL files. With the release of MakerBot Replicator version 2, X3G replaced the S3G format.
