Universal 3D File
An open-source compressed file format that was initiated by the 3D Industry Forum. U3D is designed to store three-dimensional triangular meshes along with additional properties such as color, transparency, or texture coordinates. Here are some of the key features and advantages of U3D:
- 3D PDF Integration: U3D enables the generation of PDF documents that contain interactive 3D data. This means that you can view, rotate, zoom, and manipulate 3D models within a PDF document. 3D PDF is a widely used and supported format that can be easily shared and distributed.
- U3D File Converters: Autoconverter and Automesher Application are capable of reading and writing to and from the U3D file format. This allows you to convert your 3D models from various formats, such as STL, OBJ, SKP, DAE, STEP, and others, to U3D and vice versa.
- IFX Conversion Library: Our U3D file converters use the publicly available open-source IFX conversion library provided by Intel. This library is a powerful and reliable tool that enables the conversion of 3D data to and from U3D.
Standard ACIS Text File
An ASCII file format specifically designed to store 3D model geometry with precision. It was developed and is continuously maintained by the Spatial company. SAT files are widely supported across the majority of 3D modeling and CAD software. They play a crucial role in effectively exchanging 3D data between different systems, such as AutoCAD and Solidworks. Some of the features of SAT files are listed below:
- Precision: SAT files use a mathematical representation of 3D geometry, which preserves the exact shape and dimensions of the 3D models. This ensures that the 3D models are not distorted or corrupted during the data exchange process.
- Compatibility: SAT files are compatible with a large number of 3D software tools, which makes them a versatile and flexible file format for 3D data exchange. Users can easily import and export their 3D models using SAT files, without losing any information or quality.
- SAT File Converter: SAT files can also be used to convert mesh-based geometry into a true solid shape, which can improve the performance and functionality of the 3D models. Autoconverter allows you to convert and save your 3D files in the SAT file format for further editing in your CAD software.
