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.
STereoLithography File
A file format that was developed by 3D Systems, a global leader in the 3D printing industry. It is primarily used for storing 3D models and exclusively contains triangular mesh data. Some of the benefits and features of STL files are:
- 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.
- Lack of Additional Information: STL files do not include information on face color, texture, transparency, and named groups. This means that all STL models are effectively colorless in their raw form.
- Binary and ASCII STL Formats: STL files can be saved in either binary or ASCII text formats. The binary format is generally preferred due to its significant reduction in file size compared to the ASCII format.
- Units of Measurement: The coordinates in STL files are always defined in millimeters. If necessary, our STL converter will perform the required units conversion.
STL Files Converter: While it is technically possible to assign RGB color values to individual vertices in an STL file, it’s important to note that not all software, including our Autoconverter, currently supports this extension.
