¶ Import & export File
Here are the main file formats supported for import and export in INTAMSUITE NEO:
| File Format | Description | Notes |
¶ Project Files |
||
| *.itm | INTAMSUITE NEO project file, containing model and slicing settings | Contains one or more scenario settings |
| *.ptm | INTAMSUITE NEO project package file, containing model, slicing settings, and Gcode results | Contains multiple scenarios and their results, eliminating the need for secondary slicing |
¶ CAD Model Files |
||
| *.3mf | 3MF file, containing model and slicing settings | Standardized file for sharing |
| *.stl | File format that discretely approximates the surface of a 3D solid model using small triangular facets | Common, lightweight file format with widespread use and high versatility |
| *.step, *.stp | Standard for the Exchange of Product model data (STEP) | Common CAD format that includes Brep information |
| *.iges | Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) format for CAD model exchange | |
| *.OLTP | OLTP (OpenTissue) is a file format used by the OpenTissue library for storing and exchanging 3D mesh data. | |
| *.obj | The most common and versatile 3D model format, storing only geometric information (vertices, normals, texture coordinates, faces) and material references (via .mtl files). | |
| *.x3d | An XML-based 3D scene format capable of storing complete 3D scenes (geometry, materials, lighting, animations, interactive logic). | |
| *.g | A binary format specifically designed for aerospace engineering, utilised by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). It stores precise geometric data (such as spacecraft components and orbiter models), prioritising engineering accuracy. | |
¶ Printing Files |
||
| *.gcode | Numerical control machining instruction set | Directly recognizable by the printer |
| *.ifp | Print file package, containing G-code files and model snapshot screenshots | Allows model preview on the printer screen (currently supported only by FUNMAT PRO 310) |
¶ Library Resource Files |
||
| *.Machine | Printer description file | Supports custom printer definitions and sharing |
| *.Material | Material description file | Supports custom material definitions and sharing |
| *.SliceConfig | Printing process description file | Supports custom printing process sharing |
¶ STP/STEP
Adjust the tolerance precision of internal geometric data when importing STEP (STP) files. This function is primarily used to address geometric errors or quality issues arising when exchanging STEP files between different software packages. When converting models between CAD systems, differing computational kernels and precision settings may introduce minute gaps, overlaps, or broken surfaces in geometries that were originally perfectly aligned. Adjusting precision enables the current software to “interpret” this data within an acceptable range of minor errors, thereby repairing or preventing such issues.
