About PTN files

PTN files are a type of file format used for storing and sharing 3D models, textures, and other related data. They are commonly used in the 3D printing industry, and are supported by a variety of 3D printing software. PTN files are typically created using 3D modeling software such as Autodesk Maya, Blender, and 3ds Max.

In order to convert PTN files to other formats, specialized software is required. For example, the popular 3D modeling software Blender can be used to convert PTN files to OBJ, STL, and other 3D model formats. Additionally, Autodesk Maya can be used to convert PTN files to FBX, Collada, and other 3D formats. Blender and Autodesk Maya are both free and open source software.

When converting PTN files, it is important to consider the compatibility of the target format with the 3D printer or other 3D modeling software. Additionally, some 3D printers may require additional steps such as scaling or orientation adjustments in order to successfully print the model. Converting PTN files can be a time consuming and difficult process, and there are often compatibility issues between different 3D modeling software.

Due to the complexity of converting PTN files, it is often easier to use a free and easy online website such as Convert.Guru to convert PTN files. Convert.Guru offers a simple and straightforward conversion process, and can convert PTN files to a variety of 3D model formats including OBJ, STL, FBX, and Collada. Additionally, Convert.Guru can be used to adjust the scale and orientation of the model, making it easier to print with a 3D printer.

Convert.Guru analyzes your PTN file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted PTN2, JOB, PNT, PDF, JPG, POPX, OPD and JP2 files.



The PTN Converter Story

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 PTN converter.
