Gage3D Software:

Here is a listing of the most common file formats that we work with.  Please note; we are not by any means limited to or restrained by this group.  We have the technology and know-how to integrate numerous formats to get the end results that you require.

File Format

Extension

Notes

3ds Max

.max Leading Computer animation package.

Autodesk Inventor

.iam (assemblies)

.ipt (parts)

We are able to work with any native autodesk inventor file formats.

DirectX

.x This file format is used by Microsoft's DirectX-3D real time rendering engine and it is quite prevalent and popular in the 3D game development market

DXF

.dxf A very basic level for 3D translation, we would use this as a last resort.

IGES

.igs or .iges This is a good method to import from all major CAD packages. Imports & retains pure trimmed NURBS.

Pro-E Render file

.slp SLP ("Render") files which are typically exported by PTC's Pro/Engineer program

Rhino-3D

.3dm This is the main file format used by Rhino-3D

Solid Edge

.asm (assemblies)

.par (parts)

We can directly use any Solid Edge data with no intermediate translation steps.

Solid Works

.sldasm (assemblies)

.sldprt (parts)

We can directly use any Solid Works data with no intermediate translation steps.

StereoLithography

.stl StereoLithography STL files which are typically sent to 3D stereolithography (prototyping) machines

Wavefront OBJ

.obj We are able to use Wavefront 'OBJ' format files in their entirety, including vertex, normal and texture coordinates, as well as grouping and smoothing information

XGL

.xgl & .zgl XGL is an ideal file format to export data from various supported 3D programs primarily CAD packages

Again, this is a small sample of file formats that we can directly import.  Please contact us to see if your design package is supported.  Our sales team will be able help you select the best file format for translation.
