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.

Wavefront 3D Object (.obj)

The OBJ (Object) file extension, related to Wavefront 3D Object, is a standard 3D image format developed by Wavefront Technologies. It is widely used for representing 3D geometry, including the position of vertices, texture coordinates, and normals. OBJ files are versatile and commonly employed in various CAD, 3D printing, and computer graphics applications due to their simplicity and compatibility with numerous 3D modeling programs. Introduced in the 1980s, the OBJ format has become a cornerstone in the industry, facilitating easy exchange and rendering of 3D models across different platforms.
