Point clouds

(OP)
Please could someone tell me what the best format for an exported point cloud would be. I'm thinking .stl but is there a better one?

Many thanks

Best regards

RE: Point clouds

Maybe a .dat file.

RE: Point clouds

Are you going to import the file into NX, or are you exporting it out of NX? If exporting, what is the next step in the process and what type of file works best for it?

RE: Point clouds

(OP)
We are importing in to NX, but the supplier has asked what is the best format for the data to be supplied in.

Best regards
