Convert SAT to IGS

File Extension	SAT
Full Name	3D ACIS Model Format

Files with the .SAT extension contain a three-dimensional geometric model saved in the form of an ASCII text file in accordance with Spatial’s ACIS solid modeling standard.

File Extension	IGS
Full Name	IGES ASCII CAD Format

The .igs file extension stands for IGES drawing file. This is a special type of 2D/3D vector graphic file which is based on the Initial Graphics Exchange Specification. This file is not vendor specific and thus allows more software to put it as their standard output format for the 2D and 3D models.

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "SAT") to another (referred to as "IGS"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, SAT file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format SAT to format IGS becomes essential.

So, how can we perform SAT to IGS file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format SAT and transforming it into format IGS. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of SAT to IGS converters.
