Part of the Parasolid geometric modeling kernel originally developed by Shape Data and currently owned by Siemens Digital Industries Software. [10] Parasolid can represent wireframe, surface, solid, cellular and general non-manifold models. It stores topological and geometric information defining the shape of models in transmitting files.
STL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. [3] [4] [5] Chuck Hull, the inventor of stereolithography and 3D Systems’ founder, reports that the file extension is an abbreviation for stereolithography, [6] although it is also referred to as standard triangle language or standard tessellation language.
Infill: Printing solid objects requires a significant amount of material (such as filament) and time. To mitigate this, slicers can automatically convert solid volumes to hollow ones, thereby saving costs and reducing print time. These hollow objects can be reinforced with internal structures, like internal walls, to enhance robustness.
SolidWorks (stylized as SOLIDWORKS) is a brand within Dassault Systèmes that develops and markets software for solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), 3D CAD design, collaboration, analysis, and product data management. [2] The company introduced one of the first 3D CAD applications designed to run on a ...
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. [1] [2] [3] It can be done in a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control, [4] with the material being added together (such as plastics, liquids or powder grains being fused), typically layer by layer.

This tool is commonly used to optimize manufacturing processes for parts in various industries, such as automotive, [6] packaging design, [7] and medical implants. [ 8 ] Power Surfacing can also reverse-engineer the shapes of 3D-scanned objects and recreate their geometry algorithmically, facilitating reproduction through industrial production ...
Open Design Alliance is a nonprofit organization creating software development kits (SDKs) for engineering applications. ODA offers interoperability tools for CAD, BIM, and Mechanical industries including .dwg, .dxf, .dgn, Autodesk Revit, Autodesk Navisworks, and .ifc files and additional tools for visualization, web development, 3D PDF publishing and modeling.
