Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model GCODE Files to DAE

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or GCODE (G-code) model files to a standard DAE (COLLADA - Collaborative Design Activity) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages such as Blender or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple GCODE files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

To convert your GCODE file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a DAE file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the GCODE to DAE conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

Upload a GCODE

Click the "Upload a GCODE File" button and select a GCODE to upload. The maximum file size is 100MB.

Download your DAE

Click the download link once completed to receive your DAE file.

File Format Information for GCODE to DAE

Description

The GCODE file format is the native file format used by CNC machines and 3D printers as a means to coordinate the movement and actions of these machines. In the case of FDM 3D printers, the file contains commands to move the extruder to specific locations and the rate with which to extrude the plastic filament onto the build plate.

A GCODE is a plain text file containing lists of commands, with each command appearing on a new line within the file. These commands control how the CNC machine or 3D printer operates and creates a particular 3D object. GCODE is a standard format and is usually generated by 3D printing slicer software from standard 3D model formats such as STL.

Description

The DAE format (also known as COLLADA) is a 3D file format used to describe 3D models, meshes, and 3D worlds using a simple text-based structure. The format was introduced in 2004 by Sony Computer Entertainment and is currently managed by the Khronos Group.

DAE files are a text/XML-based file format containing 3D geometric information used to describe 3D objects and meshes such as vertices, faces, animations, materials, camera/lighting elements, and other related metadata. The format has widespread usage and support, with applications such as Blender and MeshLab being able to read and write to it.

DAE Notes

Our tool will save any texture files separately; these additional files will be included with your final DAE file at the time of download.

Will the DAE file retain the textures from my GCODE file?

Yes! If your GCODE file contains textured geometry, the texture image files along with the texture coordinates (UV data) will be exported with the final DAE file.

How long does it take to convert my GCODE to DAE?

We aim to process all GCODE to DAE conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.

How accurate is the GCODE to DAE conversion?

We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.

Is it safe to convert my GCODE to DAE on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the GCODE file you submit to us. The resulting DAE file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.

Do I need a high-spec. computer to use the GCODE to DAE converter?

No. All our conversion tools process your GCODE file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted DAE file quickly.

Can I convert my GCODE to DAE on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our GCODE to DAE tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.

What if I am using an Ad Blocker, will that affect things?

Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our GCODE conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.

Can I get support with converting my GCODE to DAE?

Yes. When you have converted your GCODE to DAE, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
