3DM to XYZ
Listed below are additional resources pertaining to the interoperability and exchange of 3DM and XYZ files. These will be valuable in guiding you through the 3DM to XYZ file conversion.

3DM Rhino File
The 3DM (Rhino) is a native file format for Rhinoceros software, which allows for the storage of a variety of 3D geometry data types, including smooth NURBS surfaces, triangular meshes, points, and curves. However, our Autoconverter software exports and saves only polygonal meshes in the 3DM files. In contrast, our Autoshaper product enables the export of NURBS solids, providing a precise representation of your 3D model. These invaluable 3DM file converters also offer the flexibility to save Rhino files in various 3DM file versions, ranging from Rhino 2.X to the most recent Rhino 8.X version.
XYZ Point Cloud File
The XYZ (Point cloud data) file extension is used for ASCII text files that contain point cloud data. Each row in an XYZ file consists of 3D point coordinates, typically separated by a special character like a TAB. Optionally, the XYZ file may also include 3D normal vector coordinates for each point. Our primary XYZ file converter, Autoconverter software, can automatically reconstruct mesh surfaces from point cloud data. Additionally, Autoshaper software, another one of our XYZ file converters, allows for the reconstruction of smooth NURBS surfaces from scattered points stored in the XYZ file. It’s worth noting that point cloud data may also use alternative file extensions such as ASC or TXT.
