Mathematica supports many popular file formats for 3D graphics, including the CAD-related
"DXF" and LightWave 3D
"LWO". As with other 3D graphics in
Mathematica, these imported files can be rotated with a mouse or other input device.
Import a DXF example file, rendering it as a
Graphics3D object:
Import an LWO example file:
Mathematica also allows you to export 3D graphics for use in other programs.
Create a plot in 3D and then export it:
Create a 3D contour plot and export it:
Export a 3D graphic imported from

Once exported, you can bring 3D graphics back into
Mathematica.
