DAE DAE File Format (COLLADA) - 3D Model Exchange Standard

DAE (Digital Asset Exchange) is a widely supported, XML-based 3D file format designed for seamless interoperability between digital content creation tools. Developed by Sony and maintained by the Khronos Group, the COLLADA standard enables the efficient exchange of complex 3D assets - including mesh geometries, materials, skeletons, and animation data—across different software platforms.

Key Features of DAE/COLLADA Files

Reusable Geometry: Enables multiple objects to reference the same geometry instance, minimizing file size and improving performance.
Multi-Texture Support: Supports advanced material properties with multiple texture images and coordinate sets for each mesh face.
Opacity and Object Grouping: Allows control over transparency and organizes objects into named groups for easier scene editing and manipulation.

Convert DAE Files to Other 3D Formats

With Autoconverter and Autoshaper, you can accurately convert DAE (COLLADA) files to other popular 3D formats such as STL, OBJ, SKP, DWG, 3MF, and more. These tools use the open-source OpenCOLLADA framework to ensure full support for both COLLADA 1.4 and 1.5 specifications. Preserve animations, materials, and scene hierarchy with reliable conversion powered by OpenCOLLADA.

Streamline your 3D pipeline with powerful DAE file conversion tools - ideal for game developers, animators, and CAD professionals working across platforms.
