DXF, or Drawing Exchange Format, is a widely used file format in the design industry, capable of storing various graphic data, including lines, curves, text, blocks, and more. Typically, you need CAD software or DXF viewers to open and view DXF files. However, when sharing drawings with non-CAD users, although some online or lightweight DXF […]
DWG and DXF are both common CAD file formats used in computer-aided design software. Both of them contain information about geometric entities and support the use of different layers to organize and manage elements of the drawing. However, they work for different scenarios. This guide will give you a detailed comparison between DWG vs DXF, […]
DWG and DXF are the two most commonly used file formats in computer-aided design (CAD) programs. However, sometimes there can be compatibility issues when importing DWG files into other CAD software or sharing DWG files with other designers for collaboration. In such cases, you can convert your files from DWG to DXF as a solution. […]
As of 2025, DWG file is still one of the most widely used formats in the fields of engineering and design. However, opening them isn’t always simple. Users may encounter issues like software version incompatibility, large file sizes, or even file corruption. For CAD professionals, being unable to access a DWG file when needed can […]
The advancement of 3D modeling and printing technologies has transformed the visions of many designers into tangible realities, bringing significant changes to the realms of creativity, design, and manufacturing. However, professional CAD software is typically costly, posing a challenge for beginners or those looking to save on expenses. This is where free CAD software for […]
How to view STL files for 3D printing and additive manufacturing? As a standard format, STL are generated by CAD software to describe the surface geometry of 3D models. Given such technical applications and requirements, STL files cannot be directly viewed. Instead, they need a tool called an STL viewer. Desktop software, online tools, and […]
When working on 3D projects, choosing the right file format is essential to prevent compatibility problems and data loss. The best format depends on how you intend to use your 3D model. For example, a format compatible with your 3D printer is crucial for printing, while for engineering design, it is important to use formats […]
3D modeling, printing, and visualization are no longer confined to traditional desktop software like ZW3D and Revit. Today, 3D modeling apps on iOS and Android devices have matured into powerful tools for 3D design, offering users flexibility and mobility. Whether you work in architecture, engineering, product design, or prototyping, mobile apps for 3D modeling provide […]
In today’s industrial design and manufacturing landscape, 3D CAD modeling software plays a vital role. It allows designers to transform ideas into precise 3D digital models, significantly improving design efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration. Whether in mechanical engineering, architecture, product development, or even animation and game design, 3D CAD tools have become essential. As technology advances, […]
