What is DXF?
DXF is the published counterpart to AutoCAD's DWG. It is mostly used for 2D drawings, but the 3DFACE entity carries triangulated surfaces, so meshes can be handed to CAD and CAM tools that never learned to read mesh formats.

Which applications use DXF?
AutoCAD, BricsCAD, LibreCAD, Fusion 360, Rhino all work with .dxf files.
Can I read DXF files?
Not yet. DXF is supported as an output format only, so you can write DXF files from any of the supported input formats.
