BREP → glTF

Convert BREP to glTF

Turn a BREP CAD model into a glTF mesh. Curved surfaces are meshed finely enough to stay smooth, and the part keeps its real size and orientation.

Strength
Lossless for OpenCascade-based software.
Limits
Rarely supported outside the OpenCascade family.

What is glTF?

glTF is the open Khronos standard for delivering 3D content on the web. The .gltf version is human-readable JSON that points to a separate .bin file for geometry and to image files for textures.

Full name
GL Transmission Format 2.0
Type
3D scene (meshes, materials)
Used in
three.js, Babylon.js, Unity (via plugin), Blender, Sketchfab
Strength
Open standard, easy to inspect and edit.
Limits
Comes as several files; use GLB when you need a single file.

Good to know

BREP stores exact surfaces; glTF needs triangles. We mesh each surface with a deviation of 0.05% of the part's size, which keeps holes and fillets smooth for printing and rendering.

Dimensions stay in the units of the original file, usually millimetres.

Questions

Will curves look faceted?

No. Curved faces are meshed with a tight tolerance, so holes and fillets stay smooth.

Does it keep the size of my part?

Yes. The mesh has the same dimensions as the CAD model.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser.
