STL is widely used for 3D printing and rapid prototyping, while OBJ serves as an open exchange format for many 3D design solutions. “ODA members can now import, export and visualize STL and OBJ files,” commented Neil Peterson, ODA President. “This support is particularly useful for the growing number of companies that use Teigha as a CAD development framework. “A lot of people think only of ‘interoperability’ when they think of ODA and Teigha. While interoperability is an important part of what we do, we’ve also added visualization and publishing solutions in recent years. STL and OBJ will help support ODA’s broader mission.” ![image1](/files/inline-images/image002_10.jpg)Teigha Visualization of an OBJ file More information about the Teigha product line can be found at [www.opendesign.com](https://www.opendesign.com/). **About Teigha** Teigha is a development platform that provides tools to create a rich variety of engineering applications.
