Use our free-to-use DXF to DAE CAD to 3D model converter to effortlessly convert your DXF files. Our converter can apply extrusion to your DXF files, which can then be edited in most 3D editing applications. As our DXF to DAE tool is able to batch convert your files, you can upload a maximum of 20 files at a time.
Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.
To begin, click the button above and select your DXF CAD files. Once selected, your CAD files will be added to the conversion list. From here, you will be able to set any conversion properties, such as extrusion depth, by clicking the button. When you are ready, click the Convert button to convert your files.
Here are two simple steps to convert your DXF to DAE using our fast and free DXF converter tool.
First, click the "Upload..." button and select your DXF file to upload. Your DXF file will be uploaded to our servers. When the DXF to DAE conversion has completed, you can download your DAE file right away.
We aim to process all DXF to DAE conversions as quickly as possible; this usually takes around 5 seconds; however, this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.
We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development, with new features being added every week.

A DXF file was created by Autodesk as a standardized format for storing complex 2D and 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawings in a single, standard package that can be used for seamless exchanging of data between different CAD systems.
The DXF format is plain text and allows CAD elements such as points, lines, curves, and other elements to be represented in an efficient manner that is easy to read by other CAD applications. The use of plain text does, however, cause the files to grow in size quickly when storing large and complex CAD drawings.
As DXF files are designed from the start to be an open and standard format, there are many CAD and 2D drawing applications that offer support for importing and exporting to the DXF format.

A DAE file, also known as a Collada file, was developed by the Khronos Group as an open standard format for representing 3D models and their associated data in a manner that is both extensible and compatible with other 3D modeling applications.
The extensibility of the DAE format comes from the fact that content is stored within an XML structure, allowing the 3D model geometry to be stored along with texture and material information, as well as animations. As it is an extensible format, new features can be added relatively easily without impacting compatibility.
As mentioned, the DAE format was designed to be an open format, standardized to allow any 3D modeling application to easily implement support for DAE files. Popular 3D modeling apps such as Blender offer support for the DAE format out of the box.
