Smith,
Yes, another 3D file format, but one whose goal appears to be standardizing interchange between different kinds of medical equipment and software that uses the data to build a printable 3D model. Think CAT scans, ultrasounds, etc. where the data consists of N layers that have to be processed and converted to a geometric model (instead of a volumetric model).
