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.

X Direct3D File

Developed by Microsoft in 1995 as part of DirectX for Windows 95, this format stores 3D mesh geometry along with materials and textures. It served as the original interchange format for DirectX’s graphics and multimedia APIs.

Key Features of X

  • Origin:

    Developed by Microsoft in 1995 as part of DirectX.

  • Geometry:

    Stores 3D mesh data including vertices, faces, and normals.

  • Animation:

    Supports skeletal animation with bone hierarchies and skinning weights.

  • UV Mapping:

    Includes texture coordinate data for applied images.

X File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application enable effortless conversion of X files to your native 3D environment, including STL, OBJ, 3DM, SKP, STEP, and other industry-standard formats to bridge DirectX assets with CAD, 3D printing, and computational design workflows. Need to modernize legacy X files? Our X file converters ensure smooth transitions to contemporary workflows.
