Extract text from BSB files
To convert your BSB file to another format, you need Blue Sky Plan or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "Medical Imaging Project" file type, you need software like Blue Sky Plan or a similar tool.
The .BSB extension acts as a container for several unrelated proprietary formats, creating significant confusion for users trying to open them. The most common variation (approx. 45%) is a project file created by Blue Sky Plan, a specialized dental software used for computer-guided surgery and orthodontics. These files encapsulate complex 3D patient data, CT scans, and implant planning information. Because the format is strictly proprietary to Blue Sky Bio, sharing these files with labs or colleagues who do not have the software installed is impossible. Users often need to convert the internal 3D mesh data to STL or PLY for 3D printing, or the reports to PDF for documentation.
Alternatively, a .BSB file may be a Raster Nautical Chart (RNC) header used in marine navigation software like OpenCPN or Maptech. In this context, the BSB file is merely a metadata header that links to image data (often stored in KAP files). These charts are essentially digital scans of paper maps. While excellent for legacy navigation, they lack the zoom capabilities of vector charts. Users frequently seek to convert these raster charts into standard image formats like TIFF, PNG, or JPG for viewing on standard tablets or for archival purposes without needing specialized GPS software. Less commonly, this extension is seen as a save game file for BioShock or a sound bank for BioWare games, neither of which are suitable for standard conversion workflows.
Convert.Guru analyzes your BSB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted KAP, [BSB], PSB, WEBP, ZIP, TIF, PDF, RAR, BSP, BIN and PNG files.
If you want to convert BSB file to EXE, ISO, BIN, CUE, PAK, WAD, PK3, PK4, BSP, MAP, SAV or DAT, you can use Blue Sky Plan or similar software from the "Dental Implant Planning & Navigation" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MOD, BIN, CFG, SCX, DAT, MPQ, LOG, CUE, INI, EXE, SCM or ISO files to BSB, try Blue Sky Plan or another comparable tool in the "Dental Implant Planning & Navigation" 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 BSB converter.
