Why Convert NC to USDZ?
If you need a file built for Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format but only have one built for describing a mill, router, or laser's toolpath, converting is usually the fastest path — NC (G-code) and USDZ serve different enough purposes that recreating the asset from scratch rarely makes sense.
Our engine reads a file built around describing a mill, router, or laser's toolpath and rebuilds it aiming to preserve this: a single file ready for iOS AR viewing with no external references — rather than producing a generic, lowest-common-denominator result.
NC (G-code) works well for describing a mill, router, or laser's toolpath, but has a real limitation: isn't a drawing or model — there's no native shape to open. Converting trades that for this: a single file ready for iOS AR viewing with no external references.
How to Convert NC to USDZ
- Upload your NC file.
- MiConvert converts it to USDZ, aiming to preserve what makes USDZ useful: a single file ready for iOS AR viewing with no external references.
- Download the converted USDZ file.
- Use it directly with iOS AR Quick Look.
Key Conversion Features
- Purpose-built for the shift from describing a mill, router, or laser's toolpath to Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format, not a generic pass-through
- Fast turnaround, typically under a minute per file
- Keeps the parts of your file that matter for Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format intact, even though the source was built for describing a mill, router, or laser's toolpath
- Converts NC into USDZ, aiming to preserve what matters most: a single file ready for iOS AR viewing with no external references
- Understands that NC is CNC machine movement instructions and USDZ is a zipped, self-contained package of USD, rather than treating the conversion as a blind format swap

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the conversion take?
Most conversions finish in 10-30 seconds. Larger or more complex files can take up to a minute.
What happens to features specific to NC that USDZ doesn't have?
NC (G-code)'s real strength — an exact record of the machine operation that will be performed — has no equivalent once converted, since USDZ's constraint is: not directly editable — meant for distribution, not authoring.
Do I need CAM software and CNC controllers installed to convert my file?
No — the conversion happens entirely on our servers. You don't need CAM software and CNC controllers, and you don't need iOS AR Quick Look either unless you plan to open or edit the USDZ result afterward.
Do I need any special settings before uploading my NC file?
No special setup is required — upload the file as-is. NC (G-code) files meant for describing a mill, router, or laser's toolpath convert most predictably; unusually exported or non-standard files are the most common reason a specific one might need extra attention.
Will I lose anything converting NC to USDZ?
Converting to USDZ means adapting to a real constraint: not directly editable — meant for distribution, not authoring. Anything NC (G-code) carries — built as it is for describing a mill, router, or laser's toolpath — that has no equivalent there won't make the trip, but the core content converts faithfully.
