How to convert X_T to OBJ
- Add your .X_T file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .OBJ in a few seconds.
- Download your new .OBJ file.
What to expect
- Exact geometry is lost: the B-rep solid is approximated by flat triangles, so dimensions measured from the
.objwill differ slightly from the original. - Tessellation quality is adjustable in most exporters - finer settings give smoother curves but larger files; coarser settings produce visible faceting on curved surfaces.
- The
.objcarries no materials or colors from the.x_t; you will need to assign textures manually in your 3D application.
Frequently asked questions
Will the OBJ be dimensionally accurate?
Close but not exact. Curved surfaces are approximated by polygons, which introduces small errors. For precision manufacturing, keep the original
.x_t or convert to STEP instead.Can I convert X_T to OBJ without paid software?
Yes. Our free converter handles it, and CAD Assistant from Open Cascade is also free and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
What is the difference between `.x_t` and `.x_b`?
Both hold the same Parasolid geometry -
.x_t is ASCII text and .x_b is binary. Either format converts to OBJ the same way.Can I edit the OBJ back in a CAD application?
You can import OBJ into CAD software, but you get only a mesh, not an editable solid. To make design changes, work from the original
.x_t.Programs that convert X_T: PolyTrans|CAD+DCC · TransMagic · Afanche 3D Viewer for Mac · Online CAD converter · Babel3D
