Understanding the .glb format used by Lychee Gen
Models generated with Lychee Gen are provided in the .glb file format.
.glb (GL Transmission Format Binary) is a widely used 3D file type that stores geometry, materials, and textures in a single, compact binary file. It's compatible with most 3D viewing and editing tools and can be imported into Lychee Slicer.
You can recognize your generated model by its filename ending in .glb, for example, my_generated_model.glb.
Why .glb?
- It keeps all model data in one file (geometry, color, and texture)
- It's lightweight and optimized for both preview and download
- It ensures broad compatibility across modern 3D software and platforms
Other formats
.STL and .OBJ are also available if you'd prefer to export in one of those formats instead.
