Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model SKP Files to PCD

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or SKP (SketchUp) 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. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple SKP files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

To convert your SKP 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 be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the SKP to PCD 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.
