Our free and fast tool will convert most IGS (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) CAD files to a standard X (Direct X File) 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 IGS files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.
To convert your IGS file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a X file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the IGS to X conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

IGS 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. IGS files can be opened with many modern CAD applications, such as FreeCAD.

The X 3D file format extension was introduced by Microsoft with the launch of Version 2 of their 3D graphics API, Direct X, back in 2002. The format has evolved over the years; however, in 2014, the X file format was deprecated in favor of newer, more capable formats such as FBX.
The format is a simple text-based file capable of storing 3D mesh information such as vertices, faces, normals, and material information. In addition to basic 3D information, the format can also store animations with the X file format, which is primarily used in the development of games.
X files support material and color information. If your uploaded model contains color information, our tool will attempt to save this in the X file at the end of the conversion process. Texture information is not supported at this time.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your IGS file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the IGS to X conversion has completed, you can download your X file straight away.
We aim to process all IGS to X 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 IGS file you submit to us. The resulting X file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
No. All our conversion tools process your IGS 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 X file quickly.
Yes! Our IGS to X 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 IGS 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.
Yes. When you have converted your IGS to X, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
