Point Cloud File
A file extension that is used for ASCII text files that contain point cloud data. Point cloud data is a collection of 3D points that represent the shape of an object or a scene. Each row in an XYZ file consists of 3D point coordinates, typically separated by a special character like a TAB.
Key Features of XYZ
- Data Structure: Each line represents one point (X Y Z coordinates).
- Minimalism: No headers, metadata, or binary encoding.
- No Topology: Pure vertex data without mesh connections.
- Industry Use: Common in surveying, autonomous vehicles, and heritage preservation.
XYZ File Conversion
Autoconverter reconstructs polygonal meshes creating lightweight surface approximations ideal for visualization and 3D printing. For engineering and manufacturing applications requiring mathematical precision, Autoshaper generates smooth NURBS surfaces directly from XYZ point data, providing the accurate surface representation needed for CAD/CAM workflows.

Drawing Exchange File
A universal, open file standard developed by Autodesk to enable seamless cross-platform exchange of CAD data between AutoCAD and other design applications. As a vendor-neutral format, DXF preserves 2D/3D geometry, layers, text, and basic metadata, making it ideal for collaboration across different CAD, CAM, and GIS software.
DXF Key Features
- Origin: Developed by Autodesk in 1982 as the ASCII/Binary CAD data interchange format.
- Compatibility: Universal standard for 2D/3D CAD programs (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, etc.).
- ASCII Format: The DXF format is text-based and uses a standard syntax to store DWG drawing data. It can be easily edited and viewed with any text editor or viewer.
- Exchange of DWG Drawing: The DXF format acts as a universal bridge for DWG data exchange between AutoCAD and third-party applications. This solution is especially valuable since Autodesk's proprietary DWG format requires licensed software for full access and editing capabilities.
DXF File Converters
Autoconverter and Automesher Application allow you to import and export DXF files, and convert them into various other file formats. You can use our products to convert 3D meshes into a set of DXF faces organized in colored layers. This allows you to further process and modify your models using your default DWG editor.
