Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model PCD Files to FBX

to

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or PCD (Point Cloud Library) model files to a standard FBX (Autodesk Filmbox) 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 PCD files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my PCD file to FBX?

First click the "Upload..." button, select your PCD file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the PCD to FBX conversion has completed, you can download your FBX file straight away.

How long does it take to convert my PCD to FBX?

We aim to process all PCD to FBX 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 PCD to FBX 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 PCD to FBX on ImageToStl.com?

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

Can I convert my PCD to FBX on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our PCD to FBX 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 PCD 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.

I have several PCD files; can I batch convert my PCD to FBX?

Yes! Our PCD tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 25 and PCD files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the FBX files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.

Description

PCD files are a Point Cloud 3D format created to enable high-speed loading and saving of Point Cloud data to either a text-based format or a compressed binary format.

The format can be either text-based or binary. In the text format, point coordinates are stored on a single line with an option color value. The file contains a header section that defines the data fields that are present in both text and binary formats.

Description

The FBX format by AutoDesk was originally developed by Kaydara in the 1990s as a means to store 2D or 3D content with motion data. It has evolved over the years to become a widely used format by 3D modeling applications such as Blender, 3D Studio Max, and others due to its 3D animation capabilities.

The format is used to contain 3D models, which include vertices, faces, and other 3D geometry along with animation data. The format is proprietary; however, there is a publicly available API to use for development purposes. The file contents can be either text or binary, and work has been carried out by the Blender Foundation to document the format.

FBX Notes

If your original model file contains texture images and other texture-related data, these will be included in the final FBX file.
