Description |
Applications |
OBJ |
A commonly used 3D model format for storing the shapes and textures of a 3D model. |
3D Modeling and Rendering: Commonly used for modeling software and rendering engines such as Maya, Blender, and 3DS Max to create or edit 3D models. Game Development: Commonly used in game engines such as Unity and Unreal Engine to import and export static 3D models. Movie Effects: Used to import and export complex 3D scene and character models in movie and animation production. |
PLY |
A format for saving 3D scan data, especially suitable for saving point cloud data (point data generated by 3D scanning). |
3D Scanning Data Processing: Mostly used for storing and processing the point cloud data acquired from 3D scanners, especially in academic research and computer vision. Scientific Research: Commonly used to save and share 3D data in research, such as the 3D models in geology, archaeology, and biomedical fields. |
STL |
A format primarily used for 3D printing that records information about the triangular faces of a model. |
3D Printing: Widely used in 3D printing and rapid prototyping for manufacturing parts, prototypes, and models. Industrial Design: Used in the product design and development phase to produce physical models for testing and validation. |
ASC |
A text format for saving point cloud data generated by 3D scanning. |
Laser Scanning Data Processing: Commonly used for storing and exchanging point cloud data captured by laser scanners, widely used in topographic mapping, building scanning, and reverse engineering. Photogrammetry: Used to store the 3D point cloud data generated from images in photogrammetry for easy data processing and analysis. |
3MF |
A modern 3D printing format that saves more information about the model, such as colors, materials, and textures. |
Modern 3D Printing: Provides a modern 3D printing solution that supports colors, materials, and textures, suitable for prints requiring accuracy and details. Multi-Material Printing: Supports multi-material and multi-color printing, suitable for creating complex 3D printing objects. |
GLTF |
A format designed for web delivery and 3D model display, which is efficient and supports animation. |
WebGL and Web Applications: Designed for web delivery and 3D model display, suitable for WebGL applications, virtual reality, and augmented reality projects. Online Presentation: Used for displaying interactive 3D content on web pages, such as 3D models of products in e-commerce stores. |
FBX |
A powerful 3D modeling format that supports complex animation and material information, it is commonly used in film, television, and game development. |
Film and TV Production: Widely used in movie and TV special effects production, especially for scenes that require complex animation and skeletal systems. Game Development: Used to import and export 3D models containing animation and skeletal data in game development, compatible with various game engines and development tools. Virtual Reality: For virtual reality and augmented reality applications, supporting complex animation and interactive content. |
