Abstract

The 3D mesh model is used in various fields, such as virtual reality, shape-based searching, 3D simulation, reverse engineering, 3D printing, and laser scanning. There are various formats for the 3D mesh model, but STL and OBJ are the most typical. Since application systems support different 3D mesh formats, developing technology for converting 3D mesh models from one format into another is necessary to ensure data interoperability among systems. In this paper, we propose a method to convert a 3D mesh model in STL format into the OBJ format. We performed the basic design of the conversion system and developed a prototype, then verified the proposed method by experimentally converting an STL file into an OBJ file for test cases using this prototype.
