Polygon File
A a simple and flexible file format to store 3D mesh data. It supports vertices, faces (triangles/polygons), colors, normals, and custom properties. PLY is also known as the Stanford Triangle Format as it was developed at Stanford University in the early 1990s. It still remains a popular choice for storing 3D geometry.
Key Features of PLY
- Flexible Structure: Supports vertices, faces (triangles/polygons), edges, and custom data.
- Properties: Can store RGB colors, normals, texture coordinates, transparency, and user-defined attributes.
- ASCII & Binary Formats: PLY files can be saved in ASCII (readable) or binary (compact) form.
PLY File Conversion
Autoconverter is the best tool for converting PLY files because it handles all major 3D formats (STL, OBJ, FBX, STEP, etc.) while preserving colors, textures, and mesh accuracy. It offers fast batch conversions, an easy drag-and-drop interface, and works seamlessly across CAD, 3D scanning, and game development workflows.

Extensible 3D File
An open-source, royalty-free standard developed by the Web3D Consortium. X3D uses XML encoding to represent 3D scenes and models. This versatile format excels in web-based 3D graphics, offering real-time rendering capabilities, animation support, and seamless integration with HTML5. Its extensible design makes it ideal for VR/AR applications, engineering visualizations, and interactive simulations.
Key Features of X3D/X3DB
- Legacy: Direct successor to VRML with backward compatibility.
- Web Integration: Designed for HTML5 (X3DOM, Three.js compatibility).
- Scene Graph: Hierarchical organization of nodes (transformations, groups, etc.).
- File Structure: XML-based encoding with human-readable/textual representation.
X3D/X3DB File Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application offer full support for X3D file conversion, ensuring smooth interoperability between X3D and major 3D formats like STL, OBJ, SKP, 3DS, and STEP. Using our effective X3D converters you can easily transfer mesh models to and from this web-friendly 3D standard while preserving geometry, materials, and scene hierarchy.
