File Formats Reference

DragonFruit works with both scene and geometry formats.

VOXL (.voxl)

Native DragonFruit scene format.

• Stores scene metadata, model transforms, supports, and optional extensions.
• Supports legacy V1 JSON and current V2 binary chunk container.
• V2 is the preferred writer target.

STL

Primary mesh import/export format for geometry workflows.

• Used for model ingestion and print-ready mesh exchange.
• Export path includes support/raft geometry when configured.

3MF (.3mf)

Supported export format for model + support workflows.

• Available as an export target alongside STL and VOXL.
• Useful when you want a packaged manufacturing-ready artifact.

LYS (.lys) import path

Lychee scene import is supported through the built-in LYS plugin integration.

• Geometry extracted from binary mesh payloads.
• Scene transform and support reconstruction mapped into DragonFruit structures.
