Here are 2 simple steps to convert your PCD to STL using our fast and free PCD converter tool.
| Extension | PCD |
| Full Name | Point Cloud Library |
| Type | 3D Model/Point Cloud |
| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Binary |
PCD files are a Point Cloud 3D format created to enable high speed loading and saving of Point Cloud data to either text-based format of a compressed binary format.
PCD Converter Capabilities
When converting 3D Model/Mesh files using our [ey] converter we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.
| Extension | STL |
| Full Name | Standard Triangle Language |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | application/vnd.ms-pki.stl |
| Format | Text |
| Opens With | Blender, MeshLab, CAD Assistant, DAZ Studio |
The STL file format has its roots in the 1980's and is the native file format for 3D Systems stereolithography CAD software. The format defines a triangulated mesh with vertices and faces and is a popular format for sharing 3D printable model files.
There were several formats that attempted to extend the STL format namely SolidView and VisCAM whose formats included limited 15-bit color information for each mesh face which is often ignored by most modern 3D software. The STL format can be either Text or Binary, our tools will support both formats.
STL Converter Capabilities
When converting your PCD to STL our tool will attempt to accurately convert any color/material information.
Your PCD file will be converted to a STL file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our PCD 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals and relevant material information. As both PCD and STL support color material information our tool will also attempt to convert the color information too.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your PCD file to upload. Your PCD file will be uploaded to our servers. When the PCD to STL conversion has completed, you can download your STL file straight away.
We aim to process all PCD to STL conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds however this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.
Our PCD tool will read all the vertex information from your STL file and use only this information when creating the final STL file.
