Among the 3D formats available, some are simple in theory, yet effective for a lot of different use cases and supported by a multitude of software in the industry. The challenge they offer is the number of iterables. Stanford PLY, for example, quickly gets over a million vertices. STL being a lossy format, has to be stored with extra details, making it enormous. Importing such models faster and doing so in the memory limits is the aim of this project.
