Export formats

The export tool has two targets. target: 'model' exports the returned model; target: 'part' writes individual STL files for parts in a solved assembly.

For model exports, the registered formats are STL, STEP, DXF, 3MF, GLB, OBJ, USD, SVG drawing, PDF drawing, URDF, SRDF, Gazebo SDFormat, Isaac USD, BOM CSV, BOM JSON, order pack, bend table, and G-code. Their content differs: STEP carries B-rep geometry; STL, 3MF, GLB, and OBJ carry mesh geometry; drawing formats carry sheets; robot formats carry assembly and joint descriptions; BOM and order-pack formats carry manufacturing handoff data. G-code export requires a local OrcaSlicer installation and reports slicer predictions; it does not start a printer.

STL and STEP exports run validity checks by default. The returned result reports failures and diagnostics; disabling verification skips those gates and does not make invalid geometry valid. Some formats require matching model structures, such as a tube for bend tables or an assembly for robot descriptions. See the MCP reference for the full option schema and format behavior.
