What is a .DGK file?
A .DGK file is a type of computer file used for storing three-dimensional (3D) models. These models are created using computer-aided design (CAD) software made by a company called Delcam. Some of the programs by Delcam that can make or use .DGK files include PowerSHAPE, PowerMILL, CopyCAD, PowerInspect, and ArtCAM. The 3D model inside a .DGK file includes details about the shape of the object, which can be made up of lines (wireframes), flat surfaces, and solid parts. This kind of file is helpful for people who design 3D objects, such as engineers or artists, because it lets them save their designs and open them later to make changes or create something new.
To open a .DGK file, you can use any of the Delcam programs mentioned above, like Delcam PowerSHAPE or Delcam PowerMILL. These programs understand the .DGK format and can show you the 3D model in the file.
If you need to use the 3D model in a different CAD program that doesn't open .DGK files, you can convert it into another format. Delcam Exchange is a special program that can change a .DGK file into other common 3D file formats, such as .IGS (a format used for sharing CAD data), .STEP (another CAD data exchange format), and .STL (used for 3D printing). This makes it easier to work with other people or tools that might not use Delcam's software.
Verification
Our goal is to help people find the most up-to-date information about file extensions for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. We researched over 10,000 file extensions and their respective programs that open those files.
