Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model PCD Files to WRL

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or PCD (Point Cloud Library) model files to a standard WRL (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) 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 WRL file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the PCD to WRL conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

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 WRL file format is a 3D-based model format originally created in the 1990's that was aimed at website usage. The format is text-based and contains 3D geometry data such as vertices, faces, simple shapes, material information, and more.

This format, when launched, was hoped to become a standard 3D format; however, due to the large file sizes, it didn't see wide adoption, although it is a supported format within some CAD software applications. It was later superseded by the X3D file format, which shares most of the functionality of WRL files.

WRL Notes

WRL files support material and color information. If your uploaded model contains color information, our tool will attempt to save this in the WRL file at the end of the conversion process. Texture information is not supported at this time.

Supported Features

  • Mesh geometry
  • Mesh material colors

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my PCD file to WRL?

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

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

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

Yes, of course! We do not store the PCD file you submit to us. The resulting WRL 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 PCD to WRL converter?

No. All our conversion tools process your PCD 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 WRL file quickly.

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

Yes! Our PCD to WRL 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.

Can I get support with converting my PCD to WRL?

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