New file format will help 3-D printing progress

New file format will help 3-D printing progress: The new standard replaces the old STL (StereoLithography) format by adding native support for color, multiple materials and higher resolutions...
The new standard, called AMF (Additive Manufacturing File Format), will provide engineers, architects, artists and others involved in 3-D design and printing to seamlessly transition from design to physical printed object, independent of the specific software or printer hardware being used.
