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.
