Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model VTP Files to VTK

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or VTP (Visualization Toolkit) model files to a standard VTK (Visualization Toolkit) 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 VTP files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

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

How to Convert your VTP to VTK Online?

Here are two simple steps to convert your VTP to VTK.

Upload a VTP

Click the "Upload a VTP File" button and select a VTP to upload. The maximum file size is 100MB.

Download your VTK

Click the download link once completed to receive your VTK file.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my VTP file to VTK?

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

How long does it take to convert my VTP to VTK?

We aim to process all VTP to VTK 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 VTP to VTK 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 VTP to VTK on ImageToStl.com?

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

Can I convert VTP to VTK on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our VTP to VTK 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 VTP 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 VTP files; can I batch convert my VTP to VTK?

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

File Format Information for VTP to VTK

ExtensionVTP
Full NameVisualization Toolkit
Type3D Model
Mime Typeapplication/octet-stream
FormatBinary
ToolsVTP Converters, 3D Model Voxelizer, Create VTP Animation, Text to VTP, VTP Viewer

Description

The VTP file format is a 3D modeling and graphics format supported by the Visualization Toolkit. Created in the '90s, the Visualization Toolkit provides a series of data and visual tools for advanced 3D modeling applications. Some example functions of the toolkit include polygon simplification, mesh repair and smoothing, and more.

The format has evolved over the years. It started out as a simple text-based format that could be edited within a simple text editor. Additional features have been added over the years, with the most recent version of the format supporting an XML-based format.

VTP Notes

Our tool will export only polygon or triangle-strip-based mesh data. Textures and compressed binary data are not supported and will be ignored.

Supported Features

  • Polygon mesh
  • Triangle strip-base mesh

How does it work?

Converting from the VTP file format to VTK 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 VTP file to a valid VTK 3D model. Let's start with the conversion process, which involves the following steps:

Step 1: Read the Source VTP File

In its simplest form, an VTP 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 VTP file format, please see this great article that goes into a lot of detail explaining the VTP format.

Step 2: Process File Data

With the VTP 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 VTK format.

Step 3: Saving to the VTK 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 VTK format.
