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 AMF or Additive Manufacturing File Format is an open standard 3D file format primarily used for additive manufacturing processes such as 3D printing. The initial version of this file was released in 2011, and the format is still being developed today.
As a 3D file format, it uses XML-based content to describe one or more 3D objects, which are broken down into solid volumes defined by vertices and triangles. The format supports color and texture materials.
