Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or MPD (Lego Model) 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 MPD files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.
To convert your MPD 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 MPD to DAE conversion process, see the conversion information section below.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your MPD file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the MPD to DAE conversion has completed, you can download your DAE file straight away.
We aim to process all MPD 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.
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 MPD 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.
Yes! Our MPD 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.
Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our MPD 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 MPD to DAE, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
Yes! If your MPD file contains textured geometry, the texture image files along with the texture coordinates (UV data) will be exported with the final DAE file.
Yes! Our MPD tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 25 and MPD files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the DAE files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.

An LDRAW file, which uses the MPD file extension, is a 3D file format used to store Lego 3D models and is a popular open format used by enthusiasts to share their Lego creations.
Contained within an MPD file is information for each brick within the Lego object, as well as color and other relevant data. MPD files can be opened with the LDraw software.

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.
Our tool will save any texture files separately; these additional files will be included with your final DAE file at the time of download.
Converting from the MPD file format to DAE can be a complex process, and any tool used for this conversion process needs to be able to handle a variety of data conversion tasks as well as identify any defects within the 3D model and fix them. Here we will explain the conversion process used by our tool to accurately convert your MPD file to a valid DAE 3D model. Let's start with the conversion process, which involves the following steps:
In its simplest form, an MPD file is a binary data file containing 3D data such as vertices, faces, normals, and more. When combined, these make up the 3D model you see on your screen.
For more information regarding the MPD file format, please see this great article that goes into a lot of detail explaining the MPD format.
With the MPD file data read, our tool generates an internal representation of the full 3D model and will attempt to fix any geometry issues encountered. Along with repairing any issues with the 3D model, the tool will remove any duplicated vertices and prepare the model for exporting to the DAE format.
With the conversion process entering its final stages, our tool now needs to take the in-memory 3D model we have created in step 2 and convert it to the DAE format.
