Compressed file

Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000076

A digital file that has been reduced in size using a data compression algorithm, making it more efficient for storage and transmission. In additive manufacturing workflows, large 3D model files, such as STL or CAD files, are often compressed to expedite their transfer between design software and printing systems. Common compression formats include ZIP and RAR.
