What is PLY?
PLY (Polygon File Format), also known as Stanford Triangle Format, stores 3D mesh data with vertices, faces, normals, and vertex colors. Common output from 3D scanners and photogrammetry software.
Who uses PLY?
Widely used in 3D scanning, photogrammetry (Meshroom, RealityCapture, Polycam), scientific visualization, point cloud processing (CloudCompare, MeshLab), and academic research.
Why view PLY online?
PLY files from 3D scanners are hard to preview without specialized tools. Trice opens them instantly with vertex color support and PBR rendering — great for reviewing scans quickly.
