XYZ XYZ File - 3D Point Cloud Data Format

An XYZ file is an ASCII text format used for storing 3D point cloud data. Each line in an XYZ file contains a set of X, Y, and Z coordinates, representing a specific point in three-dimensional space. These files capture the shape, size, and surface characteristics of real-world objects or environments, and are typically separated by tabs or spaces for easy parsing. Point clouds generated from laser scans, photogrammetry, or LIDAR are often stored in the XYZ format due to its simplicity and compatibility.

Key Features of XYZ Files

  • Simple Data Structure: Each row contains exactly one point with X, Y, and Z coordinate values.
  • Lightweight Format: No complex headers, metadata, or compression - just pure spatial data, making it fast and easy to process.
  • No Connectivity Information: XYZ files store points independently without defining surfaces or edges between them.
  • Widely Used in Industry: Commonly applied in surveying, autonomous vehicle navigation, construction, archaeology, and heritage preservation for capturing detailed 3D environments.

Convert XYZ Point Clouds to 3D Models

Our Autoconverter software intelligently reconstructs polygonal meshes from XYZ point cloud files, creating lightweight 3D surfaces optimized for visualization, analysis, and 3D printing. For advanced CAD/CAM workflows, Autoshaper transforms XYZ data into smooth NURBS surfaces, delivering mathematically accurate 3D models suitable for engineering and manufacturing applications.

Convert XYZ files to STL, OBJ, STEP, IGES, and more - bridge the gap between raw point clouds and production-ready 3D models. Try our XYZ point cloud converters today and experience seamless 3D data transformation!

GLB GLTF and GLB 3D File Format

The GLTF (GL Transmission Format) and GLB file types are modern open standards developed by the Khronos Group for efficient storage, transmission, and rendering of 3D models. Designed for the web, gaming, VR/AR, and real-time applications, these formats enable compact, high-performance 3D asset workflows across platforms.

Key Features of GLTF and GLB Files

  • GLTF Versions:
    • GLTF 1.0: Supports basic geometry, textures, simple materials, and skeletal animations with joint hierarchies.
    • GLTF 2.0: Adds advanced features like PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, Draco compression, morph targets, skinning, and enhanced animation capabilities.
  • ASCII vs Binary: GLTF files are human-readable (JSON format), while GLB files combine 3D data, textures, and materials into a compact, binary format for faster loading and easier distribution.
  • Embedded Textures: Both GLTF and GLB can embed textures directly, creating self-contained 3D assets ideal for web and mobile applications.

Convert GLTF and GLB Files

With Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can easily import, export, and convert GLTF and GLB files to formats like OBJ, FBX, STL, and more. Our software supports Draco compression, enabling significantly smaller file sizes while preserving the quality and performance of your 3D assets.
