COB to SAT: Resources
Below, you'll discover a compendium of resources dedicated to the interoperability and exchange of COB and SAT file sources. These will aid in the smooth conversion from COB to SAT files.
COB File
The COB (Caligari TrueSpace Object) file format is a 3D object proprietary file format developed by the Caligari Corporation. These COB files can be encoded in both ASCII and binary formats. Generally, binary files are preferred due to their smaller size and faster processing times. Our software, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, have the ability to read and import COB files. This capability is made possible by the open asset import library. As a result, we can support custom materials, textures, UV coordinates, and other common 3D object properties that are stored within a COB file.
ACIS SAT File
The SAT (Standard ACIS Text) is an ASCII file format specifically designed to store 3D model geometry with precision. Developed and continuously maintained by the Spatial company, SAT files are widely supported across the majority of 3D modeling and CAD software. They play a crucial role in effectively exchanging 3D data between different systems, such as AutoCAD and Solidworks. With our Autoconverter and Automesher Application products, you have the ability to convert mesh-based geometry into a true solid shape, which can then be saved in the SAT file format.
