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.
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.
The AMF (additive manufacturing) file format was developed from 2009–2011 by the ASTM, its goal was to replace the outdated STL format and was originally called the STL 2.0. [5] The main goal of the format was to overcome the many shortcomings of the STL and become a new and streamlined file format. [ 7 ]
Additive manufacturing file format (AMF) is an open standard for describing objects for additive manufacturing processes such as 3D printing.The official ISO/ASTM 52915:2016 [1] [2] standard is an XML-based format designed to allow any computer-aided design software to describe the shape and composition of any 3D object to be fabricated on any 3D printer via a computer-aided manufacturing ...
It supports the .fbx, .3mf, .obj, and .stl and many more file formats [5] listed in features section. On the first launch, 3D Viewer automatically loads a "Bee.glb" file and renders an animated wasp, not a bee, on a gray background. Users can change the viewing angle, select and watch one of the available animations (defined in the 3D file) or ...
The time required for printing a completed part from a data file (.stl or .obj) is calculated as the sum of time for the following stages: Pre-processing stage, which spans the preparation process of both part and printer. This is required before the actual printing starts.
CAG (file format) – Linear Reference System; FES (file format) – 3D Topicscape file, produced when a fileless occurrence in 3D Topicscape is exported to Windows. Used to permit round-trip (export Topicscape, change files and folders as desired, re-import them to 3D Topicscape) MGMF – MindGenius Mind Mapping Software file format
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.
