RAW File Format - POV-Ray Triangle Mesh Export
The RAW file format used in POV-Ray is a minimal, ASCII-based 3D model format that stores only triangle vertex coordinates (X, Y, Z). Commonly referred to as a triangle mesh format, RAW files are ideal for simple 3D model representations in computational geometry, physics simulations, or custom rendering pipelines where textures and materials are not required.
Key Features of RAW Files
- Minimal Structure: No headers, metadata, or material references - just vertex coordinates per triangle.
- ASCII-Based: Plain text format readable in any text editor, allowing quick manual edits and debugging.
- Triangle Mesh Focus: Designed exclusively for representing 3D geometry as connected triangle vertices.
- Lightweight: Compact file size perfect for processing large vertex datasets without overhead.

Our RAW file converters support output to STL, OBJ, STEP, DAE, and SKP formats while preserving all triangle mesh data. Powered by the Open Asset Import Library, we ensure accurate transformation of your RAW triangle meshes into formats compatible with modern CAD, BIM, or game development workflows.
What is a DWG File? (AutoCAD 2D/3D CAD Drawing Explained)
The DWG file format is a proprietary binary format developed by Autodesk for storing 2D drawings and 3D models in CAD (Computer-Aided Design) workflows. As the native format for AutoCAD, DWG files are widely recognized as the industry standard across architecture, engineering, and construction sectors for their precision, flexibility, and cross-platform compatibility.
Key Features of DWG Files
- Broad Compatibility: DWG files work seamlessly with popular CAD programs like AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD, and IntelliCAD, ensuring easy sharing and collaboration across different software environments.
- High-Precision Vector Data: DWG files store exact vector-based 2D graphics, 3D models, and rich metadata, making them ideal for detailed blueprints, architectural designs, and complex engineering projects.
- Efficient Use of Blocks: DWG drawings support reusable "blocks" - predefined components like symbols or templates - that help streamline design workflows, ensure consistency, and reduce file sizes.
