CATPart and STP files
CATPart file
CATPart files are created by CATIA, a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software suite developed by Dassault Systèmes. These files contain 3D models, and part designs specific to the CATIA environment. They contain geometry, dimensions, material properties, and other design-related data. Catpart files are used in product design, manufacturing, and engineering industries.
STP file
STP files, short for Standard for the Exchange of Product Data, are universally recognized in CAD. They are used to share 3D objects across different CAD software platforms, maintaining most geometric and design attributes. STO files are widely accepted for transferring data between different CAD programs and are useful for collaboration and 3D printing.
