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.
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.
They contain a test plan for postprocessors (exporting STEP data) and preprocessors (importing STEP data). The structure of an ATS is defined in part 34. The original plan of STEP was to have for every AP 2xx a corresponding ATS 3xx, but only a few were finally realized till today.
The table below provides an overview of notable computer-aided design (CAD) software. It does not judge power, ease of use, or other user-experience aspects. The table does not include software that is still in development (beta software).
IFC defines multiple file formats that may be used, supporting various encodings of the same underlying data. [7] IFC-SPF is a text format defined by ISO 10303-21 ("STEP-File"), where each line typically consists of a single object record, and having file extension ".ifc". This is the most widely used IFC format, having the advantage of compact ...
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 ]
In November 2017, SketchUp Free was released as a web-based application which replaces SketchUp Make. [25] Drawings can be saved to the cloud, saved locally as a native SKP file, or exported as an STL file. Compared to Make, SketchUp Free does not support extensions, creation, and editing of materials. The product is not for commercial use. [26]
