What is a IGES file?
IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) is a long-established format used to exchange CAD data between different systems. It supports wireframes, surfaces, and solid models and is often used in mechanical engineering and product design.
Although somewhat superseded by STEP, IGES is still widely supported by CAD tools and remains a standard for legacy data and compatibility between engineering systems.
How to open IGES files
IGES files can be opened using CAD software like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, FreeCAD, and Rhino. They are ideal for exchanging engineering data across platforms.
You can convert IGES files to STEP or STL using AnyConv or CAD tools for downstream workflows like 3D printing or simulation.
