- Description
- Additive Manufacturing file format (AMF) defines open standards for objects description in order to be utilized by additive manufacturing processes such as 3D Printing. CAD programs use the AMF file format by making use of the information such as geometry, color and material of the objects. AMF is different than STL format as the lateral does not support color, materials, lattices, and constellations.
- USD is a file format used for 3D models and scenes. It is an open-source format developed by Pixar, and it is designed to be used in combination with their Universal Scene Description (USD) technology. USD files store 3D geometry, materials, lighting, and other scene data, and they can be used to exchange 3D content between different 3D applications and pipelines.
