X3D File
The X3D (Extensible 3D) file format is an open-source and royalty-free XML based format, developed and maintained by the Web3D Consortium. It’s designed to store two or three-dimensional models along with various visualization data, including light sources, viewport information, camera properties, special effects, and more. X3D serves as an advanced extension and a replacement for the original VRML file format, which was primarily used in web applications. Both of our X3D file converters, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, allow for the import and export of mesh entities from X3D files. For optimized file sizes, you have the option to use the binary X3DB file format instead of the default text-based X3D file.
IGES File
The IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) file format serves as the foundational format for data exchange between various systems, including CAD, CAM, and CAE. Since IGES geometry data is stored in a text format, exporting triangular meshes with thousands or millions of faces using our Autoconverter software may result in larger file sizes. It’s important to note that while the IGES format supports color per assembly, it does not include an alpha component. Consequently, any transparency settings will be lost when saving your stunning 3D design in the IGES format.
