RAW POV-Ray Triangles File

A minimalist ASCII format that stores 3D geometry as plain lists of triangle vertices (X,Y,Z coordinates), without material, color, or topological data. Designed for simplicity, RAW files represent models through raw triangle meshes - ideal for computational workflows where only vertex positions matter - but lack the support for textures or hierarchies.

Key Features of RAW

  • File Simplicity:

    Plain text human-readable format with no headers or metadata.
  • Data Content:

    Stores only vertex coordinates (X Y Z per line).
  • Geometry Type:

    Exclusively represents triangle mesh vertices.
  • Small Size:

    Minimal file overhead due to bare-bones structure.

RAW File Conversion

Automesher Application and Autoconverter software are capable of reading and importing RAW files through the use of the Open Asset Import Library, enabling seamless conversion of triangle-based RAW files into a variety of other formats such as STL, OBJ, DAE, SKP, STEP, and more. Try our reliable RAW converters to export your RAW files into modern formats today!


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.
