The new version of the CAD Xpansion SDK is also able to export 3D objects as STL files. This format is often seen as the most widespread and current de facto standard for 3D printing.

Bochum, Germany, February 17, 2016 -- Just like in other areas, standardized file formats are also very useful for developers of CAD, CAM, PDM and CAE applications to exchange data between various applications. With the new version of the CAD Xpansion SDK, developers of such solutions have now an even broader set of functionality to implement the export of 3D objects into their applications: While previous versions of the CAD Xpansion SDK could be used to create STEP and IGES files, the new version is also able to export 3D objects to STL. This format is often seen as the most widespread and current de facto standard format used for 3D printing.

Programs which support the file formats STL, STEP and IGES offer users a high flexibility when working with 3D models, since these programs enable them to easily process objects from various sources. Moreover, STL files may be displayed, saved and printed even by using freeware apps. Printing may be done with 3D printers either at home or in the office, or even by sending the files to professional 3D printing service providers.

Overview: Functionality And SDK Components
- Developer library with a rich set of functionality to create 3D objects for various application areas and for the implementation of this functionality into CAD, CAM, PDM and CAE software
- NEW: Export of 3D objects not only to STEP und IGES, but also to the STL format
- Documentation: Guide, developer reference, examples (description and code), object lists for various scopes
