Why Convert IGES to ABC?
Initial Graphics Exchange Specification is legacy CAD interchange format, commonly used for transferring CAD data between legacy systems. However, Alembic offers advantages when your workflow requires VFX, animation, and scene baking.
Converting from IGES to ABC enables better compatibility with tools and platforms that prefer ABC format, reducing friction in your production pipeline.
MiConvert handles the conversion server-side using professional-grade engines (Blender, FreeCAD, Trimesh), preserving geometry, normals, and UV data where supported by both formats.
