Autodesk Scene Export File
A file format that was developed by Autodesk for their 3D Studio software. It is an ASCII format that can store the information of a 3D scene, such as the meshes, materials, and other properties. Here are some of the key features and benefits of ASE:
- ASE File Import: Autoconverter and Automesher Application can read and import ASE files and convert them to other 3D formats, such as OFF, PLY, 3DM, SKP, and others. We use the open asset import library, which is a cross-platform library that supports many 3D file formats. By using this library, we can preserve the original features of the ASE file, such as the textures, colors, and UV coordinates.
- ASE File Export: Currently, our software does not support saving and exporting to the ASE file format. This is a limitation of the open asset import library, which does not provide a way to write ASE files. If you need this feature and want to export your model to an ASE file, please contact our support team and let us know. We appreciate your feedback and suggestions.
STandardized Exchange of Product File
A file format used for the exchange of 3D data across various computer systems, including CAD, CAM, and CAE, in a standardized format. Some of the benefits and features of STEP files are:
- Compatibility: STEP is widely supported by many software applications and platforms, making it easy to share and collaborate on 3D models across different domains and industries.
- Accuracy: STEP preserves the exact shape and dimensions of 3D models, unlike some other mesh formats (SKP, OBJ, or STL) that may introduce errors or distortions during conversion.
- Materials: STEP file format supports colors per assembly. However, it lacks an alpha component. This means that any transparency effects applied to 3D models will not be visible or preserved in the STEP files.
STEP Files Converter: STEP files can be very large, especially when they contain complex or high-resolution 3D models. One way to reduce the file size is to use Autoconverter software, which can utilize the faceted BREP representation, potentially saving up to one-third of the file size. It uses the Open Cascade framework, ensuring compatibility with the latest STEP standards.
