IGES to DAE
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to IGES and DAE interoperability and exchange that could help you with the IGES to DAE conversion.
IGES File
IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) is the initial file format for the data exchange between different systems e.g. CAD, CAM or CAE. As the geometry data are stored in a text file format, you will get bigger file sizes when exporting triangular meshes with thousands of faces using Autoconverter software. The IGES file format supports color per assembly, but without the alpha component, therefore any transparency setting will be lost in the IGES file.
DAE Collada File
DAE (Collada) file extension is a Digital Asset Exchange file used by many 3D software products as the main file format to exchange digital assets e.q. textures, geometries or just bitmap images. DAE file format is capable of storing multiple texture images with the corresponding texture coordinates, color transparency and named groups hierarchy. Our DAE file converters either Autoconverter or Autoshaper, can process your Collada DAE files thanks to OpenCOLLADA open framework which allows us to read and write to Collada DAE file format in an easy and efficient way.
