Convert IGS to GLB

The IGS file extension refers to the Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES), a standardized ASCII-based format developed by the United States Air Force under the ICAM (Integrated Computer-Aided Manufacturing) program in the late 1970s. Designed to facilitate interoperability among diverse CAD systems, IGS files store 2D and 3D vector data including wireframes, surface models, and engineering drawings. Widely adopted across aerospace, automotive, and defense industries, IGES became an ANSI standard in 1980 and was instrumental in streamlining digital product data exchange. Although superseded by newer formats like STEP, IGS remains relevant for legacy system compatibility and long-term archival of CAD data.

The GLB file extension, short for GL Transmission Format Binary, is a binary version of the GLTF format used for efficiently transmitting and loading 3D graphics. Introduced in 2015, it encapsulates 3D models, textures, materials, animations, and scenes into a single, compact file, making it ideal for web applications, mobile apps, VR, AR, and gaming. Its self-contained nature ensures faster load times and easier sharing across platforms.
