Drawing Exchange Format (.dxf)

DXF, or Drawing Exchange Format, is a widely-used CAD (Computer-Aided Design) file format developed by Autodesk in 1982. Its primary use is to facilitate data interoperability between various CAD software applications. DXF files represent 2D and 3D designs and contain information such as geometry, layout, and text annotations. Initially created to allow AutoCAD files to be compatible with other programs, DXF has become a standard format for sharing and archiving technical drawings in industries like engineering, architecture, and manufacturing, ensuring seamless communication and collaboration across different CAD platforms.

Stereolithography File (.stl)

STL, short for Stereolithography, is a widely used file format in the realm of 3D printing and computer-aided design (CAD). Introduced by 3D Systems in 1987, it represents the surfaces of a 3D object through a collection of triangles, facilitating precise and efficient model creation. Utilized across various industries such as engineering, manufacturing, and healthcare, STL files are critical for prototyping and producing complex geometries. Their simplicity and compatibility with numerous software applications have cemented STL's importance in the digital fabrication landscape.
