Extract text from 3D archives (3DT)
To convert 3DT archives to another format, you need PTC Vuforia Engine or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "AR Target Archive" file type, you need software like PTC Vuforia Engine or a similar tool.
The .3DT file extension primarily acts as a Vuforia Area/Model Target file utilized by the PTC Vuforia Engine, a leading augmented reality platform. Under the hood, these files are often compressed ZIP archives holding proprietary 3D tracking data, spatial maps, and feature points for AR applications. Alternatively, the extension is used as a 3D Tiles file generated by photogrammetry software like RealityCapture for streaming massive 3D environments. Users frequently need to convert these files because they are highly specialized, proprietary containers. You cannot open a Vuforia .3DT file natively in standard 3D modeling software like Blender or view it in a web browser without dedicated game engines such as Unity. Standard online converters usually fail because they cannot parse the proprietary tracking database structures or the complex multi-resolution hierarchies of 3D Tiles.
The ideal conversion targets for underlying mesh data would be universal 3D formats like OBJ, FBX, or GLTF. However, exporting to these formats strips away the specific AR tracking matrices and engine optimizations. Because this is a closed format, it is extremely difficult to process outside its original ecosystem, and often only the original software can properly read or export the data.
Fortunately, convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. Just drag and drop your .3DT file onto our tool. If our analysis detects a supported underlying ZIP structure or embedded meshes, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your 3DT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted BS, COLLECTION and BBX files.
If you want to convert 3DT file to OBJ, FBX, DAE, 3DS, MAX, BLEND, MA, MB, C4D, STL, PLY or WRL, you can use PTC Vuforia Engine or similar software from the "Augmented Reality Tracking Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DWG, DAE, X3D, IGES, WRL, JT, SKP, 3DS, 3DM, OBJ, STEP or FBX files to 3DT, try PTC Vuforia Engine or another comparable tool in the "Augmented Reality Tracking Data" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our 3DT converter.
