DXF to U3D
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to DXF and U3D interoperability and exchange that could help you with the DXF to U3D conversion.
- Convert 3D mesh files in the batch mode
- Autoconverter
- Import and export STL, OBJ, 3DS, PLY, 3DM, SKP, IGES and STEP files
DXF AutoCAD File
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is an ASCII file format developed and maintained up until now by the Autodesk company to exchange DWG drawing data between AutoCAD and the other programs as the native DWG file format is proprietary and requires a license to use. Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application software allow you to convert 3D meshes to a set of DXF faces placed in the colored layers which you can process further with your DWG editor.
U3D File
U3D (Universal 3D) is an open source compressed file format initiated by the 3D Industry Forum to store three dimensional triangular meshes with the additional properties e.g. color, transparency or texture coordinates for the general 3D graphics industry. The U3D file format is mostly used in combination with the 3D PDF technology which allows you to generate PDF documents containing interactive 3D data from the U3D files. Autoconverter and Automesher Application, our U3D file converters can read and write to and from U3D file format thanks to the publicly available open source IFX converter library provided by the Intel company. To simplify generation of 3D PDF documents our converters create a common TEX script which can be easily used to generate a PDF document with the standard and free LaTeX software.
