CAD and mesh conversion guides

One workflow, several geometry representations

DXF bodies and meshes can feed mesh outputs; curve-only drawings need surface construction when the target requires a surface mesh. A writable format and suitable data representation are needed for each destination. Compare the complete reader/writer catalog.

Combine readers and writers for additional formats

Every supported input format can enter a mesh-output workflow. Read the source geometry, prepare its surface representation and select an available mesh writer: STL, OBJ, PLY, glTF / GLB, USD, JT, VRML or FBX. Assimp Import supplies additional mesh and asset readers; pair it with the writer needed by the receiving application. Point clouds require surface reconstruction, finite-element volumes need an appropriate boundary mesh, and product-data inputs need their referenced geometry. Read-only inputs such as Parasolid do not become export formats through tessellation.

For batch processing, define per-file configuration, error reporting, output naming and checks for geometry and attributes. These are integration guides for SDK and service evaluation; the pages do not upload or convert files online.
