PLY File Format - Polygon File for 3D Mesh Models
The PLY file format (Polygon File Format), also known as the Stanford Triangle Format, is a versatile and lightweight standard for storing 3D mesh data. Originally developed at Stanford University, PLY files are widely used in 3D scanning, computer vision, and scientific visualization thanks to their flexibility and support for both ASCII and binary encodings.
Key Features of PLY Files
- Mesh Structure: Supports detailed geometry with vertices, polygons, and triangle faces.
- Rich Metadata: Stores color (RGB), normals, transparency, texture coordinates, and user-defined custom attributes.
- Dual Encoding: Offers ASCII for human readability and binary for efficient storage and performance.
PLY File Converters
Autoconverter provides fast, reliable PLY file conversion to a wide range of 3D formats including STL, OBJ, FBX, STEP, and SKP. Our PLY converter preserves mesh topology, color data, and optional attributes - perfect for use in CAD software, game engines, and 3D scanning workflows. Drag and drop to convert PLY files quickly and accurately - no data loss, no hassle.
SAT File - Standard ACIS Text Format (.sat)
SAT files are ASCII-based 3D modeling files created using the ACIS geometric modeling kernel, developed by Spatial. Widely used in CAD applications, SAT (Standard ACIS Text) files store exact geometry and parametric data for solid modeling. This format enables accurate data exchange between leading CAD software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and Revit.
Key Features of SAT Files
- High-Precision Geometry: Encodes accurate B-Rep (Boundary Representation) data using NURBS surfaces and curves.
- CAD Interoperability: Supports seamless cross-platform exchange between AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Rhino, Revit, and other CAD tools.
- Feature-Rich Modeling: Retains advanced design elements like fillets, lofts, extrusions, blends, and Boolean operations.
- Readable Format: Human-readable ASCII text file that simplifies debugging and version control in collaborative workflows.
Convert 3D Solids to SAT Files
Using our powerful Autoconverter software, you can easily convert SAT files from popular 3D formats like STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, and more. Whether you are preparing models for precision CAD editing or transforming mesh-based data into solid geometry, our SAT converter ensures reliable, high-quality results across platforms.
