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.
STereoLithography File
A file format that was developed by 3D Systems, a global leader in the 3D printing industry, to facilitate rapid prototyping and manufacturing. It is widely used in computer-aided design (CAD), 3D printing, and digital fabrication due to its simplicity and broad compatibility. STL files exclusively represent 3D geometry using a triangular mesh, making them lightweight and easy to process.
Key Features of STL
- Simplicity: STL files are easy to create and read by many software applications and 3D printers, as they only contain the coordinates of the vertices and the normal vectors of the triangles.
- No Additional Attributes: Unlike other 3D formats, STL files do not include details such as face colors, textures, transparency, material properties, or named groups. This means that all STL models appear colorless in their raw form.
- Binary vs. ASCII STL Formats: STL files can be stored in two formats:
- Binary STL - The preferred format due to its compact file size, making it more efficient for storage and processing.
- ASCII STL - A human-readable text format that describes each triangle explicitly, but results in significantly larger file sizes.
- Units of Measurement: The STL format does not define a specific unit of measurement, though most applications interpret the coordinates as being in millimeters. If necessary, our STL files converter can perform automatic unit conversions to match your project’s requirements.
