BLEND Blender 3D (BLEND) Project File

The BLEND file is the native project format for Blender, the powerful open-source 3D modeling, animation, and rendering suite. Designed to store complete 3D scenes, BLEND files encapsulate models, textures, materials, lighting, animations, and scene settings - enabling a flexible, non-destructive workflow for artists, game developers, and 3D designers worldwide.

Key Features of BLEND Files

  • Comprehensive Project Storage: BLEND files consolidate models, rigs, textures, simulations, lighting setups, animations, and more into a single, manageable file.
  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Fully supported across Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems with seamless interoperability.
  • Efficient File Compression: BLEND files utilize integrated gzip compression to minimize storage size while retaining all 3D project data.
  • Backward and Forward Compatibility: Blender ensures older BLEND files remain accessible and upgradeable in newer software versions, preserving your project history.
  • Multi-Format Export: Export from Blender to formats like FBX, OBJ, STL, GLTF, and more for enhanced versatility and pipeline integration.

Convert BLEND Files to CAD Formats

With our Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can easily import BLEND files and convert them into various 3D file formats, including DWG, SKP, STEP, and FBX. This enables smooth transitions of your Blender-created 3D models into professional CAD workflows while maintaining geometry, object hierarchies, and layer structures.

Note: Our software currently supports importing BLEND files for conversion. Direct export to the BLEND format is not available. We ensure your 3D geometry and organizational data are preserved during the conversion process.

PLY PLY File Format - Polygon File for 3D Mesh Models

The PLY file format (Polygon File Format), also known as the Stanford Triangle Format, is a versatile and lightweight standard for storing 3D mesh data. Originally developed at Stanford University, PLY files are widely used in 3D scanning, computer vision, and scientific visualization thanks to their flexibility and support for both ASCII and binary encodings.

Key Features of PLY Files

  • Mesh Structure: Supports detailed geometry with vertices, polygons, and triangle faces.
  • Rich Metadata: Stores color (RGB), normals, transparency, texture coordinates, and user-defined custom attributes.
  • Dual Encoding: Offers ASCII for human readability and binary for efficient storage and performance.

PLY File Converters

Autoconverter provides fast, reliable PLY file conversion to a wide range of 3D formats including STL, OBJ, FBX, STEP, and SKP. Our PLY converter preserves mesh topology, color data, and optional attributes - perfect for use in CAD software, game engines, and 3D scanning workflows. Drag and drop to convert PLY files quickly and accurately - no data loss, no hassle.
