AMF File
The AMF (Additive Manufacturing) file format has emerged as a new standard in the 3D printing and additive manufacturing industry. It is designed to facilitate the transfer of a 3D design for the fabrication process on a 3D printer machine. Unlike the STL file format, which is common in the 3D printing industry, AMF offers native support for color, materials, texture images, and reusable geometry component instances. An added advantage of the AMF file format is that its content can be compressed using the ZIP compression algorithm, resulting in a significant reduction in file size. Our Autoconverter software and Automesher Application offer full support for the import and conversion of AMF files.
IGES File
The IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) file format serves as the foundational format for data exchange between various systems, including CAD, CAM, and CAE. Since IGES geometry data is stored in a text format, exporting triangular meshes with thousands or millions of faces using our Autoconverter software may result in larger file sizes. It’s important to note that while the IGES format supports color per assembly, it does not include an alpha component. Consequently, any transparency settings will be lost when saving your stunning 3D design in the IGES format.
