A file format used in most additive manufacturing processes. It is a faceted representation of the geometry that is easy to slice. The format was developed as a replacement of the STL file format. Like STL files, it uses a faceted representation of triangles to define the surface of a part. Unlike the STL format, it can specify curved triangles and can include material and color information. Defined by ISO/ASTM 52915.
It is abbreviated as AMF
