OFF Object File Format

A straightforward, human-readable file format designed for representing 3D polygonal models. As a lightweight alternative to complex CAD formats, OFF focuses on storing essential geometric data - vertices, edges, and faces - without proprietary constraints.

Key Features of OFF

  • ASCII Text Files:

    : OFF files are text-based and use a simple syntax to store geometric data of 3D objects. The files can be easily edited and viewed with any text editor or viewer.

  • Polygonal Shapes:

    The OFF format allows to store 3D triangles, quads, and other generic polygonal shapes. Each shape is defined by a list of vertices and a list of faces.

  • Limitations:

    OFF files support only geometric data - materials, textures, and group names from source files are discarded during conversion.

OFF File Conversion

Our software offers two specialized approaches for OFF file conversion. Autoconverter handles conversion of OFF files to common mesh formats including STL, SKP, OBJ, and PLY, maintaining the original polygonal structure. Autoshaper provides advanced conversion of OFF polygonal data into smooth NURBS surfaces, exporting to BREP, STEP, and IGES formats for CAD workflows.

XYZ Point Cloud File

A file extension that is used for ASCII text files that contain point cloud data. Point cloud data is a collection of 3D points that represent the shape of an object or a scene. Each row in an XYZ file consists of 3D point coordinates, typically separated by a special character like a TAB.

Key Features of XYZ

  • Data Structure:

    Each line represents one point (X Y Z coordinates).

  • Minimalism:

    No headers, metadata, or binary encoding.

  • No Topology:

    Pure vertex data without mesh connections.

  • Industry Use:

    Common in surveying, autonomous vehicles, and heritage preservation.

XYZ File Conversion

Autoconverter reconstructs polygonal meshes creating lightweight surface approximations ideal for visualization and 3D printing. For engineering and manufacturing applications requiring mathematical precision, Autoshaper generates smooth NURBS surfaces directly from XYZ point data, providing the accurate surface representation needed for CAD/CAM workflows.
