Is it a binary or ASCII file?
What problem do you observe when you try to use stlread() ?

Hi Abubacar,
I think that you need to plot the surface of the STL file in a mesh.
Sample code might be of help
b = figure(2);
model = stl2matlab('ImageName.stl');
patch(model{1},model{2},model{3},'b');
axis equal; view(30,60);
Wish you luck
