The Polygon File Format (PLY) is a versatile file format designed for storing 3D polygonal models. It originated at Stanford University in the mid-1990s to support the Stanford 3D Scanning Repository project. The primary purpose of PLY is to efficiently represent and exchange three-dimensional data, including vertex coordinates, colors, and normals. Its flexibility makes it valuable for various applications such as 3D scanning, computer graphics, and 3D printing. PLY files can store both ASCII and binary data, making them adaptable for diverse processing needs within computer technology.
The 3D Manufacturing Format (3MF) is a file extension used in additive manufacturing, commonly referred to as 3D printing. Developed by the 3MF Consortium, it provides a streamlined and improved format over traditional STL files. Introduced in 2015, the 3MF format supports richer data representation, including color, material, and other properties, ensuring better interoperability and more accurate print results. Its adoption has facilitated enhanced efficiency and precision in the 3D printing industry, making it a preferred choice for professionals in the field.
