Still frustrated with RAW to XYZ conversion? These step-by-step guides simplify RAW files conversion:

RAW 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.

RAW File Conversion

Convert RAW files to popular 3D formats with Automesher Application and Autoconverter. 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.

XYZ XYZ File - 3D Point Cloud Data Format

An XYZ file is an ASCII text format used for storing 3D point cloud data. Each line in an XYZ file contains a set of X, Y, and Z coordinates, representing a specific point in three-dimensional space. These files capture the shape, size, and surface characteristics of real-world objects or environments, and are typically separated by tabs or spaces for easy parsing. Point clouds generated from laser scans, photogrammetry, or LIDAR are often stored in the XYZ format due to its simplicity and compatibility.

Key Features of XYZ Files

  • Simple Data Structure: Each row contains exactly one point with X, Y, and Z coordinate values.
  • Lightweight Format: No complex headers, metadata, or compression - just pure spatial data, making it fast and easy to process.
  • No Connectivity Information: XYZ files store points independently without defining surfaces or edges between them.
  • Widely Used in Industry: Commonly applied in surveying, autonomous vehicle navigation, construction, archaeology, and heritage preservation for capturing detailed 3D environments.

Convert XYZ Point Clouds to 3D Models

Our Autoconverter software intelligently reconstructs polygonal meshes from XYZ point cloud files, creating lightweight 3D surfaces optimized for visualization, analysis, and 3D printing. For advanced CAD/CAM workflows, Autoshaper transforms XYZ data into smooth NURBS surfaces, delivering mathematically accurate 3D models suitable for engineering and manufacturing applications.

Convert XYZ files to STL, OBJ, STEP, IGES, and more - bridge the gap between raw point clouds and production-ready 3D models. Try our XYZ point cloud converters today and experience seamless 3D data transformation!
