.SAB File Extension

A SAB file is a 3D model created in the Standard ACIS Binary (SAB) format. It contains 3D geometry and structure information for a manufactured component. SAB files are used for exchanging model information between various CAD programs.

The SAB extension stands for Standard ACIS Binary. The model a SAB file contains can also be saved in the .SAT format, which is a plain text format. (SAT stands for Standard ACIS Text.)

Each SAB file contains a three-line header, followed by model data and an end marker. It may also include history data that can be used to undo changes.

You can open a SAB file in many different CAD programs, including Spatial 3D ACIS Modeler (multiplatform), Autodesk AutoCAD (Windows, Mac), IMSI TurboCAD (Windows, Mac), and Autodesk Fusion 360 (multiplatform).

Lightsaber file used by Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, a game where the player chooses to have their Jedi character follow the light or dark side path; contains data for lightsabers used by the character; includes information such as the color, length, radius, of the saber and if it's throwable or two-handed; references .WAV files for sound effects and a .GLM file for the model.

NOTE: The SAB file is similar to the .VWP and .VEH files used by Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.
