Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model XYZ Files to VTK

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or XYZ (Point Cloud) 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 XYZ files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

To convert your XYZ 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 XYZ to VTK conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

Description

The XYZ is a 3D file format used for representing 3D Point Clouds. The format contains only positional information (X, Y, and Z coordinates) for the individual points. The format is often used for digital elevation modeling of terrain for later processing in 3D modeling applications.

As the format only contains positional information, a common task is to convert this into a fully surfaced 3D model using methods such as Alpha Shapes or Delaunay Triangulation. The format can also be viewed without further processing in its raw format.

XYZ Notes

The XYZ file format was designed to store vertex information only to allow the construction of simple Point Cloud models.

Description

The VTK 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.

VTK Notes

Any model converted to the VTK format will be stored in a triangulated mesh format.

Supported Features

  • Polygon mesh
  • Triangle strip-base mesh

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my XYZ file to VTK?

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

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

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

Yes, of course! We do not store the XYZ 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.

Do I need a high-spec. computer to use the XYZ to VTK converter?

No. All our conversion tools process your XYZ 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 VTK file quickly.

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

Yes! Our XYZ 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 XYZ 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 XYZ to VTK?

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