Design files
1999-2004
Subseries
Sub-series 2, Design files, 1999—2004, contains digital plans and 3D models of the Muscle project. It includes CAD formats, including STL, Maya, 3DM/Rhino, AutoCAD, OBJ, and 3D Studio. There are also a number of screenshots taken from CAD files, which are saved as JPEGs, TIFs, PDFs, and AVIs. These document wireframe drawings 3D models of the Muscle, as well as 3D models of the A2 Cockpit and Soundbarrier.
This sub-series contains a number of born-digital files in CAD and 3D modeling formats. Due to the complex and often proprietary nature of CAD formats, proper rendering and use of these files may require highly specific software. CCA’s dedicated Study Room CAD workstation is loaded with a wide but incomplete range of such software. For further information about services and software available for interacting with obsolete or niche file formats, please contact Collection Reference (reference@cca.qc.ca) and ask to speak with the Digital Archivist. There are a number of items ending in the .zbd file extension in subdirectory AP167.S1.SS2.005. These are sliced build files for the ZPrinter 3D printer used by ONL. It is unclear whether or not they can be read, particularly without the related hardware; however, it is possible that they are related to or redundant of the STL files in that subdirectory.
Material in this sub-series is arranged roughly by date.

This directory chiefly contains the STL files for the 3D models of the A2 Cockpit and Soundbarrier displayed by ONL at the exhibition. There are also a number of files with the extension .zdb, which sliced build files related to the 3DS ZPrinter (3D printer). These may be related to or redundant of the existing STL files. Original directory name: "85 3d printer". Most common file formats: STL (Standard Tessellation Language) Binary, 3DM, 3D Studio, RAR Archive.
