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.
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.
