Convert LIDAR data exchange to 3D object graphics.

We have found one software suitable in our database for this conversion.

las to obj conversion is related to the export of special topography models in LIDAR exchange format (LAS) to simple 3D OBJ format (Wavefront). This is probably doable, but due to the different nature and purpose of both files, the result might be very poor and simple compared to the original, but often enough for 3D printing purposes (printable 3D meshes).

This should be possible directly with CloudCompare or similar solution. A solution proposed often in various community forums is to use VRML/STL format as alternatives; both can be exported to OBJ with ease.

A viable route is to export LiDAR LAS files to TIN format using the LAStools and then export the .tin file to OBJ or STL. It all depends on the available software choices.

The table with program actions contains information about what each program is capable of doing with their files. This may be a good pointer for further searches for certain file conversions and help you find the converter you are looking for if our search result is insufficient for you. However, it is far from perfect and may sometimes show results which are not really usable because of the nature of the software handles the files. So a conversion that appears as possible, just because of matched actions, may in fact not be possible.
