3D Image Files

IGES files are data files that exchange 2Dor 3D design information between CAD programs like; ACD system canvas, and Autodesk AutoCAD. Data files stored in IGES standard are saved as IGES or.IGS. The files contain surface information for the model. They can store solid medal, wireframe, and circuit diagram information. IGES files are saved in […]

Developed by Autodesk, the DWF extension stores two-dimensional or three-dimensional images in Design Web Format. It is a device-independent and resolution-independent file type that tries to make creating intricate designs more easily accessible to regular users. A DWF file typically contains an illustration i.e., a combination of text and graphics. It is based on the […]

Developed by Trimble, the SKP extension stores a 3D model and is a binary format. The SketchUp software, a three-dimension object designing program uses it to store the output, such as edge effects, shades, textures, etc. some of these objects are reusable, and users can use them in future projects or insert in documents. You […]

Developed by Autodesk, the FBX belong to the 3D image file category and stores two-dimensional or three-dimensional images. The Kaydara software mainly uses it as its default output extension, and multiple programs can access it. Users can convert the FBX files into other formats such as OBX, DXF, DAE, and 3DS conveniently. Unlike some other […]

The STEP file extension is a 3D image file based on an ASCII structure. It has been formatted in Standard for Exchange of Product Data format which is an ISO defined mechanism. These files are easy to read and contain one instance per line generally. There was a time in the computer-aided design (CAD) world […]

Developed by Wavefront Technologies, the OBJ (Wavefront Object) extension is a format that stores information about 3D models. These files are generated by CAD software and contain information such as texture maps, 3D coordinates, and other relevant data. It is a text-based format that is used by multiple software allowing more effortless and seamless transmission […]

The STP file type is the designated file extension for the STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Data) format, which is the standard medium for 3D file exchange across a plethora of software. It is a text-based ASCII extension that allows it to be relatively easier to construe and transfer. The standard conforms to […]
