Free Online GCODE to PLY Converter

Here is our free to use GCODE to PLY 3D model converter tool that will take your GCODE file and convert it to the PLY format ready for loading into your favourite 3D modeling package. Our 3D model converter supports batch processing of your files and can convert up to 20 GCODE files at one time.

Select File(s)

Drag and drop your files here to upload or click the button above.
A maximum of 20 files can be converted at once.

Please note: Your GCODE file file, when uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload. Please download your converted GCODE file file before this time.

The GCODE to PLY model conversion tool will analyse your GCODE file and convert its 3D mesh data including vertices, surfaces and where applicable vector normals and texture coordinates to the PLY format whilst maintaining the structural accuracy of your original GCODE 3D model file.

File information for GCODE and PLY

Full Name	G-code
Extension	GCODE
Type	3D Model/Point Cloud
Mime Type	text/plain
Format	Text

The GCODE format is a file format mainly associated with 3D printers and CNC machines. These files contain low-level instructions to control these machines; for example, in a 3D printer, these instructions move the print head, adjust the height of the print bed, and control the speed at which the plastic is extruded from the print head.

These GCODE files are created by Slicer software, which takes 3D model files, often in the STL or 3MF format, and converts these models into the low-level instructions present in the GCODE file.

GCODE Converter Capabilities

As the GCODE format currently does not support the use of material colors when used by tool, your converted model will contain only the mesh geometry, material colors will not be transferred to your converted file.

Full Name	Stanford Triangle Format
Extension	PLY
Type	3D Model/Point Cloud
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Text

The PLY file format, commonly referred to as the Stanford Triangle Format, is a 3D file format that comes in either plain text or binary formats. The PLY format is a mature format and is supported by many popular 3D editing applications.

Due to its ability to handle full-color 3D point clouds, the format is commonly used as a medium of exchange when working with 3D scanners. There are also many 3D models available online in the PLY format.

PLY Converter Capabilities

As the PLY format currently does not support the use of material colors in 3D models when created using our tool, your converted model will contain only the mesh geometry, material colors will not be transferred to your converted PLY file.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert my GCODE to PLY?

First, click the "Select File" button and choose your GCODE file. We will upload and convert your GCODE file. Once the conversion from GCODE to PLY completes, use the provided link to download your PLY file.

How long does it take to convert my GCODE file to PLY?

We aim to process all GCODE to PLY file conversions as soon as possible; this should take around 5 seconds; however, this may be longer for larger files.

Is the GCODE format suitable for 3D printing?

No. Most 3D printing slicer software will not support the GCODE format. It is recommended to convert your GCODE file to the STL format if you wish to 3D print it.
