NC1 to HPG Conversion
What are NC1 files?
DSTV NC1 is the most widely used CNC file format for structural steel fabrication, developed according to the standards of the German Steel Construction Association (DSTV). It contains detailed manufacturing data for steel components, including drilling, cutting, milling, marking, and part dimensions, allowing CAD/CAM systems to communicate directly with CNC machinery. The .nc1 extension is the standard file extension for DSTV NC files.
What are HPG files?
HPG is a vector image format created in a standard programming language called HPGL (Hewlett-Packard graphics language). Other extensions created in this language include PLT, HP2 and PL2. All are called "plotter files" and are created by drawing programs such as AutoCAD to be printed using a device specialized in vector graphics. An HPG file uses a line series of two-letter codes to render an image and can also include parameters.
