Standard specification for additive manufacturing file format (AMF). Version 1.2
Identical to ISO/ASTM 52915
A framework for an interchange format to meet the current and future needs of additive manufacturing technology is specified. Up to now STL file format has been the industry standard for transferring data between design programs and additive manufacturing equipment and its functionality is limited. The additive manufacturing file (AMF) can be prepared, displayed, and transmitted on paper or electronically, provided the information required by this specification is included. When prepared in a structured electronic format, strict adherence to an extensible markup language (XML)schema is required to support standards-compliant interoperability. A W3C XML schema is detailed and Annex A1 contains an implementation guide for such representation.
