Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or SCAD (OpenSCAD) model files to a standard PCD (Point Cloud Library) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages such as Blender or 3D printed without any further processing.
To convert your SCAD file click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a PCD file and will ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the SCAD to PCD conversion process see the conversion information section below for more information.
Here are 2 simple steps to convert your SCAD to PCD.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your SCAD file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the SCAD to PCD conversion has completed, you can download your PCD file straight away.
We aim to process all SCAD to PCD 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 being added every week.
Yes, of course! We do not store the SCAD file you submit to us. The resulting PCD file, once created is deleted 1 hour after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
Yes! Our SCAD to PCD tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.

The OpenSCAD file format or SCAD is the native file format of the popular free CAD software OpenSCAD used for creating 3D CAD models. The SCAD software is still in active development with new features being added with each version.
SCAD files are text based files containing script which allows the designer to describe the CAD model programmatically. SCAD files are then compiled to produce the final 3D render.
PCD files are a Point Cloud 3D format created to enable high speed loading and saving of Point Cloud data to either text-based format of a compressed binary format.
SCAD files when imported will be converted to 3D geometry comprising vertices and faces. If the SCAD file contains color information this will be converted where possible.
