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.


SAT Standard ACIS Text File

An open ASCII format for storing precise 3D geometry, developed and maintained by Spatial. SAT files enable seamless 3D data exchange between major CAD systems like AutoCAD and SolidWorks, with broad support across modeling and engineering software.

Key Features of SAT

  • Precision Geometry:

    Stores exact NURBS curves/surfaces (not just meshes).
  • B-Rep Support:

    Maintains boundary representation (surfaces, edges, vertices).
  • CAD Neutral:

    Works across AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit, and more.
  • Parametric Data:

    Preserves features like extrusions, fillets, and blends.

SAT File Conversion

SAT files enable conversion of mesh geometry into precise solid models, enhancing 3D model performance and CAD functionality. With Autoconverter, you can easily convert and export your files to SAT format for seamless editing in any CAD software.
