- 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.
- X3D (Extensible 3D) is a royalty-free open standard file format used to represent 3D computer graphics. It is used to store and interchange 3D model data, including surface geometry, color, animation, and metadata. X3D files are built on the XML standard, and can be viewed and edited with a variety of 3D modeling programs.
