These models often use dedicated file formats. CAD models require high-definition for production and are created using dedicated 3D CAD software like Fusion 360 Autodesk, Solidworks, CorelCAD, AutoCAD, Tinkercad, FreeCAD, SketchUp, Solid Edge, Bentley, LibreCAD, SOLVESPACE, BRL-CAD, QCAD, IRONCAD, PTC, CATIA, OpenSCAD, Rhino, and Siemens NX. Understanding Industrial 3D CAD ModelsĬomputer-Aided Design (CAD) refers to 3D modeling for parts and assemblies in the Industry & Manufacturing sector. Our method supports various 3D CAD file formats, including STL, OBJ, STP, IGS, OFF, GLTF, GLB, WRL, BREP, XBF, PLY, MSH, PNG, LOG, ES, 3DS, QOBJ, PTX, VMI, PTS, APTS, XYZ, PDB, TRI, ASC, TXT, X3D, X3DV, FBX, BRE, DAE, and E57. For high-definition static CAD models, we offer an alternative approach to achieve optimal results for your final AR render. We previously published tutorial on reducing 3D model sizes with Blender, an effective method for most 3D models, including animated ones.
