“…For the STL file format can only store geometric information in the form of triangulated part geometry, much information generated in the CAD system cannot be transferred to the pre-processing software. (Gebhardt et al, 2019;Krückemeier et al, 2021;Kumar, 2020) For further development and successful industry dissemination, additional information must be generated, stored, and used in subsequent process steps along the digital additive process chain. Even though different file formats have been developed to store more than just geometric information, STL is still the de-facto industry standard in the additive process chain.…”

Selecting a suitable file format for data exchange in additive manufacturing is fundamental when designing these digital process chains. Within the scope of this investigation, alternatives to the de-facto industry standard STL are to be found to overcome the disadvantages of the STL-based digital process chain.Therefore, suitable file formats are identified by conducting literature and market research and evaluated regarding their suitability to support a continuous digital process chain. In addition, typical use cases in additive manufacturing are defined, and their requirements for a file format for data exchange are derived. Finally, for each use case defined, recommended and suitable file formats are proposed.
