Conversion quality notes (read before converting)

CAD → Mesh (STEP/IGES/BREP → STL/OBJ/PLY/3DM): 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.

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.

3DM

3DM is the native file format of Rhinoceros (Rhino), based on the openNURBS toolkit. It stores 3D geometry such as NURBS surfaces, polysurfaces, meshes, and related object data, and is widely used in industrial design, architecture, jewelry, and manufacturing pipelines.
