X3D Extensible 3D File

An open-source, royalty-free standard developed by the Web3D Consortium. X3D uses XML encoding to represent 3D scenes and models. This versatile format excels in web-based 3D graphics, offering real-time rendering capabilities, animation support, and seamless integration with HTML5. Its extensible design makes it ideal for VR/AR applications, engineering visualizations, and interactive simulations.

Key Features of X3D/X3DB

  • Legacy:

    Direct successor to VRML with backward compatibility.

  • Web Integration:

    Designed for HTML5 (X3DOM, Three.js compatibility).

  • Scene Graph:

    Hierarchical organization of nodes (transformations, groups, etc.).

  • File Structure:

    XML-based encoding with human-readable/textual representation.

X3D/X3DB File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application offer full support for X3D file conversion, ensuring smooth interoperability between X3D and major 3D formats like STL, OBJ, SKP, 3DS, and STEP. Using our effective X3D converters you can easily transfer mesh models to and from this web-friendly 3D standard while preserving geometry, materials, and scene hierarchy.

IGS Initial Graphics Exchange File

A file format widely used in the fields of CAD (Computer-Aided Design), CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing), and CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering), as it enables to transfer of 3D models and designs across different platforms and applications. Developed in the 1980s and standardized by ANSI and ISO, IGES remains a foundational yet legacy-neutral format for 3D data exchange.

Key Features of IGES/IGS

  • Text-Based Geometry Storage:

    The IGES format stores all geometric data in human-readable text, enabling easy editing but potentially creating large files when exporting complex models with dense meshes.

  • Color Representation:

    IGES maintains color information at the assembly level, preserving visual clarity in multi-component designs.

  • Transparency Limitations:

    Unlike modern formats, IGES lacks alpha channel support, meaning transparency settings from original 3D designs won't carry through in exported files.

IGES/IGS File Conversion

Autoconverter provides full read/write capabilities for IGES files through the Open Cascade framework, ensuring compatibility with the latest specifications. The application works exclusively with triangulated mesh geometry when processing IGES files. For projects requiring native NURBS surface preservation, we recommend using Autoshaper, which maintains the original smooth surface definitions throughout conversion.
