How to convert glTF to 3KO (NGRAIN .3ko)?

PolyTrans|CAD+DCC performs mathematically precise CAD, DCC/Animation, GIS and BIM 3D file conversions into all key downstream 3D packages and file formats. Okino software is used and trusted throughout the world by many tens of thousands of 3D professionals in mission & production critical environments, backed by respectable personal support directly from our core development team.

glTF

As described more extensively on Okino's dedicated glTF converter page, glTF is a newer 3D file format designed for the "last mile" of efficient, real-time delivery of 3D assets for Web-based browsers, AR/VR applications and gaming applications, amongst others. It is generally not to be considered as a long term and high fidelity 3D data storage format (such as FBX, COLLADA or VRML2) but rather an efficient transmission and viewing 3D file format. It has begun to gain good traction in recent years.

glTF stands for Graphics Language Transmission Format. glTF is intended as a vendor-neutral distribution format for 3D content, bridging the gap between 3D content creation tools and applications displaying 3D graphics. It is fully graphics API and operating system-independent.

Okino has one of the most extensively developed and refined implementations of glTF for both import and export.

3KO

'3KO' is a 3D voxel/mesh visualization file format designed by NGRAIN Corporation of Canada (previously known as i3Dimensions). It was used with their interactive 3D training solutions for the aerospace, defense, and manufacturing sectors. It is generally a "one way" format from such software packages as 3ds Max and Maya into the NGRAIN software.

Going back in time to the 2003 era, Okino and NGRAIN collaborated on the development of the NGRAIN 3KO exporter within Okino software.
