What is an ACT3D file?

ACT3D files mostly belong to ACT3D Viewer. ACT3D files are 3D model preview containers that use a ZIP-based structure to hold preview assets. They store the data needed to render a quick view of a 3D model without loading the full model data.
This file is opened with the ACT3D Viewer by Actify SpinFire, which displays the 3D preview efficiently. The design helps users see a simplified version of the model and related metadata.

Internal Format: ZIP archive.

Purpose: To store preview data for 3D models.

Usage: Enables fast inspection of 3D content.

Inspection: Common ZIP tools can reveal the file structure if needed.

Actify SpinFire
An ACT3D file is a 3D model preview container primarily associated with Actify SpinFire. It's used for sharing interactive 3D model previews. The internal structure of an ACT3D file utilizes the ZIP compression format. This file format is classified as 3D Model Preview.

ACT3D format details:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. In the following you will find our evaluation of the ACT3D files:

The ACT3D file extension is primarily used by a single program. But the following two file formats are common:

99% of all ACT3D files are based on the zip format, the ACT3D file contains a number of compressed files. An ACT3D file can contain up to 50 files (mostly 6 - 8). Common included file names are Documents.xml and Thumb.png. Tip: If you rename the file ending to .zip and then double-click it, you see the included files and images. The files are 96 KB to 18 MB in size, with a median of 1 MB. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as Documents.xml. Such files are related to step, catpart, catproduct, assembly, front, assy, concept, insert and study.

All other ACT3D files (1%) have different formats. These files are often connected to carrier, housing, design, parts, core or load. If you want to find out which format your ACT3D file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .act3d file to analyze".
