Extract text from Nomad Sculpt projects (NOM)
To convert NOM projects to another format, you need Nomad Sculpt or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "Nomad Sculpt 3D Project" file type, you need software like Nomad Sculpt or a similar tool.
The .NOM file format is primarily used as the native 3D sculpting project container for Nomad Sculpt, an industry-leading mobile and tablet 3D modeling application. These files store dense voxel data, polygonal meshes, vertex colors, PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, lighting setups, and the user's sculpting layer history. Less commonly, .NOM files operate as digitally signed document containers under Mexico's Norma Oficial Mexicana (NOM-151) standard, or as legacy raster image files within Nemetschek Allplan CAD workflows.
The main disadvantage of a .NOM file is its highly proprietary nature. Because it is optimized exclusively for the Nomad Sculpt iOS/Android app architecture, you cannot directly import a .NOM file into standard desktop 3D software like Blender, ZBrush, or Autodesk Maya. Furthermore, raw sculpting projects often exceed hundreds of megabytes due to unoptimized, high-polygon voxel grids, making them expensive to store and difficult to share with clients or collaborators who do not own the app. Sharing a native .NOM file essentially forces the recipient into the Nomad Sculpt ecosystem.
To bypass these limitations, conversion is strictly required. For general desktop editing, convert your .NOM files to OBJ (for raw geometry) or GLTF (to preserve PBR materials and vertex colors). If your goal is 3D printing, target the STL or 3MF formats so slicing software can process the mesh. For web-based AR and interactive portfolios, convert to a compressed GLB file. Note that converting out of the .NOM format will permanently bake your geometry and discard proprietary sculpting layer history.
Convert.Guru analyzes your NOM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted NOMFILE, DAT, SFA, ADC and RMC files.
If you want to convert NOM file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use Nomad Sculpt or similar software from the "3D Sculpting Project Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to NOM, try Nomad Sculpt or another comparable tool in the "3D Sculpting Project Storage" 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 NOM converter.
