Conversion quality notes (read before converting)
- CAD → Mesh (STEP/IGES/BREP → STL/OBJ/PLY): may lose parametric features; output becomes triangles.
- Mesh → CAD (STL/OBJ/PLY → STEP/IGES/BREP): may produce surfaces/approximations depending on engine.
- If output looks broken, try converting to STEP first, then to your target format.

OBJ
OBJ is a popular file format used for representing 3D geometry, primarily in the fields of computer graphics, 3D modeling, and animation. It was originally developed by Wavefront Technologies for their Advanced Visualizer software, and has since become a widely adopted format for exchanging 3D models across various applications.
PLY
Polygon File Format is a widely used file format for representing 3D data, particularly polygonal meshes, in the fields of computer graphics, 3D scanning, and point cloud data. It was originally developed to store data from 3D scanners and has since gained popularity in both academic and commercial applications due to its flexibility in handling a variety of data types.
