IGS File

Category: CAD Files

What is an IGS file?

The IGS format is commonly known for storing two-dimensional, or three-dimensional IGES renders. The International Graphics Exchange Standard (IGES) is an ANSI-approved standard developed in 1979. These files are ASCII-based, and many CAD programs use it as their default format for saving and exporting vector data.
An IGS file can contain wireframe models, circuit diagrams, representation of shapes, and several other complex structures and objects. Due to their ability to handle data at a relatively lower space, the format is mostly found in the and aerospace industries. These files can also come with IGES extension.
