Models

The models category covers 3D and CAD interchange formats, each carrying one small, documented solid so you have a known shape to convert and inspect. The mesh formats hold a real 10 mm cube: STL in both ASCII and binary encodings, a Wavefront OBJ, and a 3MF manufacturing package. There's a DXF drawing of the same cube as 3D line geometry, an EPS vector illustration, and minimal well-formed STEP (AP214) and IGES samples for testing header and entity parsing. Every file states its geometry, units, and structure, so you're converting against a known object rather than a mystery mesh.

DAE — COLLADA Cube

A 10 mm cube as COLLADA (.dae) — the XML digital-asset-exchange format used across 3D tools and game engines. For testing COLLADA parsers and conversion.

GLB — glTF 2.0 Binary Cube

A 10 mm cube as binary glTF (GLB) — the dominant modern format for 3D on the web and in AR, with per-face normals packed into one self-contained file. Powers the interactive 3D preview on this site; for testing glTF loaders and conversion.

glTF — JSON Cube (embedded)

A 10 mm cube as text glTF 2.0 — the JSON scene with its binary buffer embedded as a data URI, the human-readable sibling of the GLB. For testing glTF parsers and GLB↔glTF conversion.

OBJ — Wavefront Cube

A 10 mm cube as a Wavefront OBJ — plain-text vertices and triangular faces, the lingua franca of 3D asset exchange. For testing OBJ importers and conversion.

OFF — Geomview Cube

A 10 mm cube as OFF (Object File Format) — the minimal vertex/face text format from Geomview, common in computational geometry. For testing OFF parsers and conversion.

WRL — VRML97 Cube

A 10 mm cube as VRML97 (.wrl) — the classic Virtual Reality Modeling Language scene format, ancestor of X3D. For testing VRML parsers and conversion.
