Look at incorporating lib3mf support (optional) into Sonador3D
3MF is a promising 3D exchange format backed by Microsoft. It solves many of the problems inherent in older standards such as STL and OBJ, and might be a valuable addition to the Sonador platform.
Questions that need to be answered:
- What use-cases would
lib3mf
support? - How mature is the tooling?
- What devices support 3MF files and how would 3MF be incorporated into solutions that leverage Sonador?
- What other 3D programs (Autodesk, NX, OpenCascade) support 3MF, could it be a reliable exchange format with other tools?
- POC: How hard would it be to create a wheel file that packages lib3mf and the associated bindings?
- POC: How hard would it be to read/write data using
lib3mf
and then pipe the resulting data to other applications/libraries (PyOCC, VTK, NX, AUtoDesk)?
