List of common 3d graphics, cad-cam-cae file extensions
Commonly used formats used for 3D modelling or CAD designs. Usually have form of a 3D model, technical drawings, schematics or similar.
Common 3d graphics may change in time as the popularity and significance of some formats can change.
Whole category of 3d graphics contains now 1269 file types. Show all 3d graphics, cad-cam-cae file types.
 3d | Files with 3d extension are mostly related to the 3D drawing CAD format used by various CAD tools. |
 3ds | Files with 3ds file extension can be commonly found as 3D computer graphics created using 3D Studio Max software as well its successor product 3ds Max by Autodesk. |
| c4d | Files with c4d extension can be most often encountered as 3D model files created with professional 3D modeling software tool CINEMA 4D from MAXON. |
| dae | A dae file extension is used for COLLADA 3D graphic interchange format. Used in several games and programs and supported by graphic editors such as Adobe Photoshop or Blender. |
| dgn | Files with dgn extension might be found as CAD design files created using the MicroStation software. |
| dwfx | Files with dwfx extension are pretty much always CAD files in Autodesk Design Web Format. These are used by various Autodesk applications for distribution and communication of rich design data to anyone who needs to view, review, or print design files. |
Files with dwg extension are used for the original CAD format originally introduced in Autodesk AutoCAD. The latest version of DWG format is usuaually proprietary and can only be created in AutoCAD. Other CAD programs can usually import it but not create its proprietary form. Because of this, DWGs are often exported to DXF interchange format so that they can be seamlessly used in other CAD programs. | |
Files with dxf extension can be typically found as 2D CAD drawings saved in the Drawing Exchange Format, a common format for exchange of engineering drawings. | |
| igs | Files with igs extension can be found as 3D graphics models saved in International Graphics Exchange Standard (IGES) format used for data exchange. |
 ipt | Files with ipt extension may be found as mechanical part models made by the AutoDesk Inventor a 3D modeling software. |
| lcf | Files with lcf file extension can be also found as library container files from ArchiCAD architecture design software. |
 max | Files with max extension can be found as scene files made using 3D Studio Max / 3ds Max software by Autodesk. |
| obj | Files with obj extension can be found as common 3d objects saved using various 3D modeling and CAD modeling tools. |
| pro | A pro file extension is often used for project files used by various applications. |
| prt | Files with prt extension are generally used in the CAD industry for 3D designs of parts or components and are used in many programs, although often in different formats. |
 skp | Files with skp file extension are, in almost every case, 3D graphics files or 3d models created and saved using the SketchUp program. |
 sldprt | Files with sldprt extension can be typically found as CAD parts made using SolidWorks CAD designing suite. |
| step | Files with step extension are quite often found as 3D model / part files saved in STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Data) format. |
| stl | Files with stl extension can be mainly found as stereolithography files for 3D printers. Used in many CAD programs as output format for models and prototypes that could be printed in stereolithography devices. |
 u3d | Files with u3d file extension can be commonly found as 3D graphics saved in the Universal 3D file format. |
 wrl | Files with wrl file extension can be primarily found as 3D content based on the VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) that is used for representing 3-dimensional (3D) interactive vector graphics, designed particularly with the World Wide Web in mind. |
| x_t | Files with x_t file extension can be usually encountered as 3D models or technical drawings prepared and saved in a text format native to Parasolid software. |
This is a list of some the most common file types from this category and may change in time as the popularity and significance of some formats can change. Whole category of 3d graphics contains now 1269 file types. Show all 3d graphics, cad-cam-cae files.
