Our free and fast tool will convert most IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) CAD files to a standard Blender 3D model 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 IGES files; up to 200 files at a time can be converted.
To convert your IGES file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a Blender file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the IGES to Blender conversion process, see the conversion information section below.
Here are two simple steps to convert your IGES to Blender.
| Extension | IGES |
| Full Name | Initial Graphics Exchange Specification |
| Type | CAD |
| Mime Type | application/iges |
| Format | Binary |
| Tools | IGES Converters |
| Open With | Free CAD |
IGES is an open file format used within CAD applications as a means of saving data in a format that can be opened and edited in other CAD applications. Its roots can be traced back to the mid-1970s, when it was used by the United States Air Force.
The format itself is a human-readable text-based format and contains data that can represent many different CAD elements, such as points, lines, arcs, and much more. IGES files can be opened with many modern CAD applications, such as FreeCAD.
| Extension | BLEND |
| Full Name | Blender |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Binary |
| Tools | BLEND Converters, 3D Model Voxelizer, Create BLEND Animation, BLEND Asset Extractor, Text to BLEND, BLEND Viewer |
| Open With | Blender |
The BLEND file type is the native 3D graphics file format of the 3D modeling application Blender. Originally released in 1994, Blender has grown over the years and is one of the most popular 3D applications available.
BLEND files store 3D content such as 3D geometry, vertices, faces, normals, animations, materials, and much more. Blender is free and open-source, contains many features you would expect in a high-end 3D editing application, and is available for most current operating systems.
If your original model file contains texture images and other texture-related data, these will be included in the final BLEND file.
Our tool will save all Blender files that can be opened with version [z] of Blender.
Yes! Our IGES tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 200 IGES files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the Blender files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.
First click the "Upload..." button, and select your IGES file to upload. You can also drag and drop your file onto the tool. Once your file is selected, you can set any configuration options. When the IGES to Blender conversion has completed, you can download your Blender file straight away.
We aim to process all IGES to Blender conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.
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.
Yes, of course! We do not store the IGES file you submit to us. The resulting Blender file, once created, is stored for 4 hours after upload; after this time it is deleted, and the short-term download link will stop working. You can create a long-term download Url with most tools that will ensure the file is retained for 24 hours, allowing you to download the file when convenient. Our tools also come with a Delete button, allowing you to delete the file immediately.
No. All our conversion tools process your IGES 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 Blender file quickly.
Yes! Our IGES to Blender tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.
Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our IGES conversion tool please consider white-listing our website. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits and some settings may not be available when using our tools. Processing/conversion and download times will also be longer.
Yes. When you have converted your IGES to Blender, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
