VRML to U3D Conversion
Transform VRML into U3D in minutes with our step-by-step instructions:
Install Autoconverter
Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert VRML files to U3D format.
Import VRML File
Click Open... to load your VRML file (.wrl, .vrml), or drag and drop it into the application window.
Export to U3D Format
Use Save As... to export your file to the U3D file format (.u3d, .idtf).

Virtual Reality Modeling File
A a 3D file format used to describe interactive 3D objects and environments. It’s like HTML for 3D = it tells your computer how to display shapes, colors, textures, lighting, and even animations in a virtual space. VRML files can be viewed in web browsers with the right plugin or in 3D modeling software.
Key Features of VRML/WRL
- 3D Geometry: Defines shapes like boxes, spheres, cylinders, and custom meshes.
- Appearance Settings: Supports colors, textures, transparency, and material properties.
- Scene Hierarchy: Uses a node-based structure to organize objects and behavior.
- X3D Successor: The VRML format was developed in the 1990s and became an ISO standard in 1997. It was later superseded by X3D, which is an XML-based format that supports VRML features and provides several extensions.
VRML/WRL File Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application simplify the process of importing, exporting, and converting VRML/WRL files into widely used 3D formats such as STL, OBJ, PLY, FBX, and more. Take your VRML models beyond the browser and seamlessly integrate them into CAD, animation, or 3D printing workflows with our powerful VRML converters.
Universal 3D File
An open standard for 3D data exchange, originally developed by the 3D Industry Forum to enable universal 3D visualization across platforms. As a compressed, binary file format, U3D efficiently stores three-dimensional triangular meshes along with additional properties such as color, transparency, or texture coordinates.
Key Features of U3D
- Open Standard: Royalty-free format maintained by ECMA International (Standard ECMA-363).
- PDF Integration: U3D enables the generation of PDF documents that contain interactive 3D data (ISO 32000). This means that you can view, rotate, zoom, and manipulate 3D models within a PDF document.
- Compact Size: Optimized compression for web and document embedding.
- Cross-Platform: Viewable across major operating systems without proprietary software.
U3D File Conversion
Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application utilize Intel's powerful open-source IFX conversion library to deliver robust U3D file conversion capabilities. This technology enables seamless two-way conversion between the U3D format and various industry-standard 3D formats including STL, OBJ, SKP, DAE, STEP, IGES, DWG, 3DS, FBX and X3D. The solution provides reliable transformation of 3D data while maintaining optimal file structure and visual fidelity throughout the conversion process.
