.MESH (3D Mesh Model) - File Extension

What is a MESH file?

A MESH file is a 3D model file format that is commonly used to store 3D objects, including surface and volume meshes, as well as non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) surfaces. The MESH file format is often used in scientific and engineering applications, as it is well-suited for storing complex 3D models with a high level of detail.

The MESH file format was originally developed by the French software company Medit, and it is still widely used in a variety of applications. In addition to being used in Medit, MESH files can also be opened and viewed in other 3D modeling software applications, such as Autodesk 3ds Max, Blender, and MeshLab.

How to open a MESH file

There are a number of ways to open a MESH file, depending on the software you have available and the type of MESH file you are trying to open. Some common options for opening a MESH file include:

1. Using a 3D modeling software application that supports the MESH file format, such as Autodesk 3ds Max, Blender, or MeshLab. These applications can typically open and view MESH files as well as allow you to manipulate and edit the 3D model contained within the file.
2. Using a specialized MESH file viewer, like Medit. If you have access to Medit, you can use this software to open and view MESH files.
3. Using a general-purpose 3D modeling or CAD software application that supports the import of MESH files. Many popular 3D modeling software applications, namely AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and SketchUp, have the ability to import MESH files and display them within the software.
4. Using a conversion tool to convert the MESH file to a different 3D file format that is supported by a software application you have installed. There are many online tools and software applications available that can convert MESH files to other 3D file formats, such as OBJ or STL. Once the MESH file has been converted to a different format, you can then use a 3D modeling or CAD software application that supports that file format to open and view the file.
