Extract text from Nautical charts or dental cases (BSB)
To convert BSB Files to another format, you need Blue Sky Plan or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "Dental Implant Planning File" file type, you need software like Blue Sky Plan or a similar tool.
A .BSB file is most commonly a Blue Sky Plan Case File used by dentists and orthodontists to store 3D dental implant planning data. These files are created using Blue Sky Plan software. Alternatively, .BSB files function as Maptech Raster Nautical Charts, storing electronic navigational maps distributed by organizations like NOAA, and are opened with marine software like OpenCPN. Finally, the extension is also used for BioShock Game Saves, BioWare Sound Banks, and German school administration reports (MAISS).
The main disadvantage of .BSB files is their highly proprietary nature. Dental .BSB files are locked to specific software ecosystems, making it difficult to share 3D models with dental labs or generic 3D printers without specialized export modules. Maptech nautical charts are often accompanied by KAP files and require dedicated GIS or marine navigation software to view, which is useless for casual users. BioShock save files and BioWare audio banks are heavily encoded and unreadable outside their respective game engines.
To overcome these limitations, you must convert the file based on its specific type. For 3D dental cases, convert .BSB to STL or OBJ for universal 3D printing and CAD manipulation. For marine navigation charts, converting the paired KAP and .BSB data to GeoTIFF, PNG, or PDF makes the maps viewable on standard mobile devices and web browsers. For BioWare sound banks, extract the zlib-compressed data to WAV or MP3 for standard playback. Drop your file here to analyze and convert it securely right in your browser.
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 Case" 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 Case" 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.
