Typical use: スキャンデータを STL/OBJ に変換して加工します。

About the PLY format

PLY は 3D スキャンの点群とメッシュを扱う形式です。座標に加えて色や法線などの属性も保持できます。

点群のままでは加工しにくいため、用途に応じて STL（印刷）や OBJ（編集）へ変換します。

Strengths

✓ 点群と属性を保てる
✓ スキャナの標準出力
✓ テキストでも読める

Limitations

✗ ファイルが大きくなりやすい
✗ 対応ソフトが限られる

Structure: Point cloud or mesh
Materials: Vertex colors only
Compatibility: Scanning/scientific stacks
Best for: Scans and point clouds
