DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is an electronic drawing file format originally developed by AutoCAD and widely used. It is used to exchange and share 2D and 3D graphic data between different CAD (Computer Aided Design) software.
DXF files are in plain text format, which is readable and editable. It can store various types of graphic entities, such as points, lines, circles, polylines, polygons, arcs, text, and so on. In addition, DXF also supports storing metadata information such as layers, colors, linetypes, fonts, sizes, block definitions, and block references.
Due to DXF being an open file format, many CAD software supports importing and exporting DXF files. This enables the exchange of drawing data between different CAD software, facilitating collaboration and collaborative work between designers and engineers.
In DXF files, graphic data is saved in ASCII format and can be viewed and modified using a text editor. The structure of DXF files is clear and easy to parse and process. It is widely used in fields such as mechanical design, architectural design, and circuit design, becoming a universal data exchange standard between CAD software.
The 3MF file is a modern 3D file format designed specifically for 3D printable models (additive manufacturing). It aims to be the successor to the popular traditional STL format (also a common format in 3D printing) to overcome its limitations.
The 3MF file format is based on XML and is compressed using standard Zip file compression to generate small, easy-to-transfer files. The format supports 3D meshes as well as all related materials and textures contained in the Zip file.
