What is Product Design

Product Design is the process of developing a 3D CAD Design or what we call in the design service industry “Modeling” or the digitally designing of your new product, invention or idea.

Product Design File Types that most manufactures use are listed below:

IGES or IGS files stands for Initial Graphics Exchange Specification.

STEP or STP files stands for Standard for the Exchange of Product Data.

DWG files (from drawing) is a proprietary binary file format used for storing two- and three- dimensional design data and metadata.

DXF files stands for Drawing Interchange Format, or Drawing Exchange Format.

Products for manufacture should be designed as a full three-dimensional model with associated drawing views and dimensions.

Keep in mind that the product design file formats stated above are usually the most popular and will work for almost all product design requirements but there are exceptions with certain manufacturers. Always check with a product design professional in regards to your specific product design project and what type of manufacturer.

Design Drawings for Production and Manufacturing – STEP or IGS File Format


Many manufacturers will request a STP / STEP or IGS / IGES file design drawings for designing molds or for pricing manufactured parts for production of your invention or product.

“Manufacturing Design Drawings”

Products for manufacture should be designed as a full three-dimensional model with associated drawing views and dimensions using a Computer Aided Design (CAD) system. The IGES and STEP product design file format serves as a neutral data format to transfer the design to a dissimilar system. Translators, developed to the IGES and STEP Standard, are used to export a design into an IGES or STEP file for exchange and for importing the IGES or STEP file into the destination system.

IGES or IGS files stands for Initial Graphics Exchange Specification and is a file format which defines a vendor neutral data format that allows the digital exchange of information among Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems.

STEP or STP files stands for Standard for the Exchange of Product Data. This ISO standard exchange format is used to distribute 3D data files (such as CAD files) in a format that can be viewed by a variety of software applications.
The .step file extension is interchangeable with the .stp file extension.
The .step file extension is also used for PyDDR files.
STP files can be opened by CATIA (Computer Aided Three Dimensional Interactive Application), a commercial CAD software suite created by Dassault Systemes and marketed by IBM.

Please keep in mind that the product design file formats stated above are usually the most popular and will work for almost all product design requirements but there are exceptions. Always check with a product design professional in regards to your specific product design project.

Why Product Design ?

Many manufacturers and 3d printers will request a STP, STEP or IGS, IGES or STL file product design drawings for designing molds or for pricing manufactured parts for production of your invention or product or to build a 3d print prototype.

Product Design

IGES or IGS Files (design file format used in the manufacturing production process) stands for Initial Graphics Exchange Specification and is a file format which defines a vendor neutral data format that allows the digital exchange of information among Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems. Once a user has created a model file in one specific software to send it to another user who does not have that same program without any concern whether or not the recipient will have the ability to open or view the file.

STEP or STP Files (design file format used in the manufacturing production process) is a file extension for a 3-D graphic file used by CAD software. STP stands for STandard for the Exchange of Product model data. STP files are used to store 3D image data in an ASCII format, following the standards defined in ISO 10303-21 : Clear Text Encoding of the Exchange Structure.

STL Files / Stereolithography – Standard Tessellation Language (design file format used in 3d printing product parts and prototypes) is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. STL is also known as Standard Tessellation Language. This file format is supported by many other software packages; it is widely used for rapid prototyping and computer-aided manufacturing (additive manufacturing or 3D printing).

Please keep in mind that the product design file formats stated above are usually the most popular and will work for almost all product design requirements but there are exceptions. Always check with a product design professional in regards to your specific product design project.
