What PLY and OBJ files are

PLY

PLY (Polygon File Format, also known as the Stanford Triangle Format) was created at Stanford University in the 1990s to store data from 3D scanners. Besides vertices and faces it can hold per-vertex colors, normals and other values in text or binary form, which makes it popular for 3D scans and point clouds.

OBJ

OBJ is a plain-text 3D geometry format from Wavefront. It stores vertices, faces, normals and texture coordinates, and can reference materials through an MTL file, so it carries more than STL while staying readable by almost every 3D tool.
