PLY to SAT
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to PLY and SAT interoperability and exchange that could help you with the PLY to SAT conversion.
PLY File
PLY (Polygon File Format or Stanford Triangle Format) is a file format developed to store three dimensional triangles with additional properties e.g. color, normals, transparency or texture coordinates. However, Autoconverter our PLY file converter can only read and write mesh geometry without the material properties, as in the PLY file they can vary between triangle vertices. You can save PLY files in a binary or ASCII text file format, with the preference for the binary version due to a significant PLY file size saving.
SAT ACIS File
SAT (Standard ACIS Text) is an ASCII file format to store 3D model geometry that precisely describes the real objects, developed and maintained up till now by the Spatial company. The SAT file format is supported by the majority of 3D modeling and CAD software and can be used to successfully exchange 3D data between different systems, e.g. AutoCAD & Solidworks. Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application software allow you to convert mesh based geometry to a true solid shape saved in the SAT file.
