What is an OBJ file?

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 between users.
The OBJ file format is an open-source and neutral extension capable of storing complex data. It is widely used in the CAD scenario and is increasingly becoming the standard file type for multi-color 3D printing. There are several scenarios where you may come across an OBJ file such as while editing a 3D rendition in a video game or designing any real-life object, etc.
