From PLY to STEP file format
The PLY format is a 3D model format developed and released in 1994, primarily used to store 3D data from 3D digital scanners. The format, also known as the Polygon File Format and Stanford Triangle Format, can be either binary or text-based.
The file format stores 3D geometric information, such as vertices, faces, vertex normals, colors, and other custom data. Many PLY models still use this format, available for download, and PLY files can be loaded into popular 3D applications such as Blender.
STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product model data) is an international standard used for data exchange in the fields of computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). It defines a universal data format for describing and exchanging product model data.
STEP files adopt a neutral, platform independent representation method that allows for data exchange across different CAD software and systems. It uses an entity based data model, as well as a unified data structure and semantic rules, to ensure data consistency and reliability.
STEP files can contain rich product model information, such as geometric shape, topological relationships, material properties, assembly structure, dimensions and tolerances, and process information. It supports multiple geometric types of representations, including points, lines, curves, surfaces, volumes, etc., while also storing other non geometric attributes such as color, mass, material properties, etc.
There are many advantages to using STEP format for data exchange. Firstly, it allows seamless data interoperability between different CAD software, thereby avoiding issues of data conversion and information loss. Secondly, STEP files are text based, have good readability, and are easy to view and edit. In addition, as STEP is an international standard, it can promote global data exchange and cooperation.
In the fields of industrial manufacturing and engineering, STEP is widely used in product design, process planning, CNC machining, assembly analysis, virtual prototyping, and other links. It provides a standardized data exchange method, promotes the integration and collaborative work of design and manufacturing processes, and improves production efficiency and quality.
