In-Depth Research on the File Transformation between DXF&STL

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the in-depth analysis of the structure of DXF, STL files, there is lots of code information in entities of the 3D entity information-stored DXF files, which isn’t good for the use of the valuable information, ASCII format of STL files store the normal vector and vertex coordinates as 3D graphics data for storage in a cramped construction, easy for reading. While binary format of STL files store the information in bytes by rules. Take box as an example, and VC++6.0 programming language is used to program the data information, so as to read and display DXF file information, conduct data transformation according to the set of transformation rules, finally realizing the DXF and STL’s file transformation and displaying content, providing convenience for the file data reading of different platforms.
