3DGS Mesh Converter | Converting 3DGS to Mesh
3DGS Mesh Converter (Beta Version) / 4DGS.jp
Convert 3DGS .ply files to GLB, STL, and OBJ using just a browser. No special software or GPU is required, and there is a free plan available.
The "3DGS Mesh Converter" is a web service that allows you to export .ply files captured with 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) into mesh data formats (GLB/STL/OBJ). By simply uploading the file to your browser and selecting the conversion method, you will receive a format that can be directly used in Blender, Unity, or 3D printers. No dedicated software or GPU is required. There are two types of conversion methods available. You can choose between "calculated conversion," which is faithful to the original data, and "high-resolution AI conversion," which focuses on appearance with details supplemented by AI, depending on your needs. Currently, it is available in beta with initial-stage quality, but it is at a level suitable for practical use if you need to prepare a base mesh. It has been released early to address the issue of "not being able to hand over the production after capturing with 3DGS." There is a plan available for you to try it for free. You can start using it right now from the service site (4dgs.jp).

Company information
IZUTSUYA Inc. digitizes real-world spaces and objects by combining 3D/4D scanning, centered on 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), with AI. We adopted 3DGS in our work early, in 2024, and have recorded buildings, traditional crafts, plants, and even human gestures and dance movements as high-fidelity 3D/4D data. We provide an end-to-end service: capture, data optimization and mesh conversion, and publishing, sales and license management on our own 3D data platform, 3Dasset.io. From digital archiving of cultural heritage and infrastructure inspection DX using LiDAR point clouds and AI, to Location XR experiences that combine places with human movement, we help bring 3D technology into culture, construction, tourism and entertainment. We choose between DSLR cameras, 360-degree cameras, LiDAR and markerless motion capture according to each project, and work with research institutions to field-test new equipment and methods. Please feel free to contact us.
