'''DAT''' is the ''de facto'' file format used for [[LDraw]] parts. It was previously used for both parts and models, but models are now normally stored as [[LDR]] files instead, although they are both structured in the same way.

DAT is the de facto file format used for LDraw parts. It was previously used for both parts and models, but models are now normally stored as LDR files instead, although they are both structured in the same way.

One or more DAT files can be combined into a MPD file.
