BLEND Blender File

The native file format for Blender, the open-source 3D creation suite, is engineered to store and transfer complex 3D assets - including models, animations, materials, and scene data. As an all-in-one solution, it powers everything from photorealistic renders to interactive animations while maintaining Blender’s flexible, non-destructive workflow.

Key Features of BLEND

  • All-in-One Storage:

    BLEND files save everything - models, animations, textures, lighting, and scene setups in one file.
  • Wide Compatibility:

    Works perfectly across Windows, Mac, and Linux. Exports to FBX, OBJ, STL, and more.
  • Smart Compression:

    The BLEND format uses gzip to shrink file sizes while keeping all your project data intact.
  • Always Upgradable:

    Older BLEND files stay compatible with newer Blender versions.

BLEND File Conversion

Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application support importing BLEND files for conversion to CAD formats like DWG (AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD). This lets you use Blender-created 3D models in your preferred CAD environment.

Note: Currently, we support BLEND files import only (not export to BLEND format). All conversions preserve model geometry, layers, and object structure.


U3D Universal 3D File

An open standard for 3D data exchange, originally developed by the 3D Industry Forum to enable universal 3D visualization across platforms. As a compressed, binary file format, U3D efficiently stores three-dimensional triangular meshes along with additional properties such as color, transparency, or texture coordinates.

Key Features of U3D

  • Open Standard:

    Royalty-free format maintained by ECMA International (Standard ECMA-363).
  • PDF Integration:

    U3D enables the generation of PDF documents that contain interactive 3D data (ISO 32000). This means that you can view, rotate, zoom, and manipulate 3D models within a PDF document.
  • Compact Size:

    Optimized compression for web and document embedding.
  • Cross-Platform:

    Viewable across major operating systems without proprietary software.

U3D File Conversion

Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application utilize Intel's powerful open-source IFX conversion library to deliver robust U3D file conversion capabilities. This technology enables seamless two-way conversion between the U3D format and various industry-standard 3D formats including STL, OBJ, SKP, DAE, STEP, IGES, DWG, 3DS, FBX and X3D. The solution provides reliable transformation of 3D data while maintaining optimal file structure and visual fidelity throughout the conversion process.
