COB File
COB (Caligari TrueSpace Object) is a 3D object file format developed by Caligari Corporation. The COB file can be encoded in ASCII and binary formats and in general binary files should be used as they are smaller and faster for programs to process. Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application COB file converters, can read and import COB files thanks to the open asset import library. It allows us to support custom materials, textures, UV coordinates and other common 3D object properties.
STL File
STL (STereoLithography) is a file format developed by 3D Systems company, the world leader in the 3D printing industry. STL files contain triangular mesh only, without face color, texture, transparency and named groups data. While it is possible to assign RGB color value for each individual vertex, Autoconverter our STL file converter doesn't support this STL file extension. You can save STL files in binary or ASCII text file format, with the preference for the former one due to significant STL file size reduction. The triangles in STL files are always defined in millimeters therefore our STL converters will make the necessary unit conversion if required.
