STEP-file is a widely used [1] data exchange form of STEP. ISO 10303 can represent 3D objects in computer-aided design (CAD) and related information. Due to its ASCII structure, a STEP-file is easy to read, with typically one instance per line. The format of a STEP-file is defined in ISO 10303-21 Clear Text Encoding of the Exchange Structure. [2]
ISO 10303 is an ISO standard for the computer-interpretable representation and exchange of product manufacturing information.It is an ASCII-based format. [1]: 59 Its official title is: Automation systems and integration — Product data representation and exchange.
Open Inventor, originally IRIS Inventor, is a C++ object-oriented retained mode 3D graphics toolkit designed by SGI to provide a higher layer of programming for OpenGL.Its main goals are better programmer convenience and efficiency.
Neutral file exchange uses an intermediary neutral format to translate data between CAD systems. This method starts from a pre-processor embedded in the original CAD system, which generates the neutral file from the originating CAD format. The target CAD system post-processes the neutral file and converts it into the target native format. [7]
Most AICs are specializations in the geometric area. AICs did not exist back in 1994 when the first release of STEP got published. But when the 2nd generation of APs grows up it becomes clear that APs do not only share not only the IRs but also a lot of specializations. AICs are a big step towards AP interoperability. Part 501 - Edge-based ...
FreeCAD's own main file format is FreeCAD Standard file format (.FCStd). [9] It is a standard zip file that holds files in a certain structure. [ 9 ] The Document. xml file has all geometric and parametric objects definitions. [ 9 ]
The typical work-around when sharing files with an outside organization is to export the file using two open-file-type standards: IGES, which was released in 1980 by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (then known as the National Bureau of Standards), and STEP, released in 1984/85.
3D Manufacturing Format or 3MF is an open source file format standard developed and published by the 3MF Consortium. [1] [2] 3MF is an XML-based data format designed specifically for additive manufacturing. It includes information about materials, colors, and other information that cannot be represented in the STL format.
