- IFCzip (Compessed IFC File) is a compressed format for IFC files, which stands for Industry Foundation Classes. These files are used for building information modeling (BIM) and are compressed using a ZIP algorithm to reduce their size for storage and transmission.
- Stl is the standard 3D data transmission file format mainly used for 3D printing. STL contains surface geometry descriptions of 3D objects and it uses a series of triangles to describe the surface geometry of a 3D model.
