Turn an IGES CAD model into a DAE mesh. Curved surfaces are meshed finely enough to stay smooth, and the part keeps its real size and orientation.
Drop it on the converter above or click browse. It opens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
DAE is already selected. You can switch to any other output from the menu.
Click Convert and your DAE file is ready in seconds. Download it straight away.
IGES is an older CAD exchange format that stores exact curves and surfaces. Many machines, CAM systems and older CAD packages still expect it.
DAE, also called COLLADA, is an XML scene format with meshes, materials and scene hierarchy. It is still used by SketchUp exports, Second Life and some older game pipelines.
IGES stores exact surfaces; DAE 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.
No. Curved faces are meshed with a tight tolerance, so holes and fillets stay smooth.
Yes. The mesh has the same dimensions as the CAD model.
No. Everything runs in your browser.
