Standard for the Exchange of Product Data (.step)

The STEP file extension, also known as Standard for the Exchange of Product Data (ISO 10303), is widely used in the realm of 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) files for facilitating data interoperability between different software systems. Initially developed in the late 1980s, it enables the precise exchange of complex product information, which includes geometry, topology, and material properties, ensuring seamless collaboration in engineering and manufacturing projects. Its standardized format is crucial for integrating diverse CAD tools, thereby enhancing efficiency and reducing errors in the product development lifecycle.

3D Manufacturing Format (.3mf)

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.
