I created .arobject file from apple's object scanning sample code.
Now I am wondering is there any way to convert this .arobject file to .usdz file?

No, in ARKit 5.0 and earlier you can't convert .arobject file into .usdz file format (and vice versa). That's because .arobject file contains only the spatial feature information needed to recognize a scanned real-world object, it is not a displayable 3D reconstruction mesh of that object. In other words, .arobject contains a sparse point cloud, not a dense point cloud.
If you want to create a 3D model from a dense point cloud you need a special RealityKit's API for that. Look at this post and this post for further details.

1Thanks for your answer @ARGeo, but is there any way that this .arobject data can be used for creating any 3dmodel?? – Satish Mavani Jul 29 '19 at 06:49

No, as this answer does imply. For creating a 3D model from a dense point cloud you need a third-party framework. – Andy Jazz Jul 29 '19 at 07:04

1@AndyFedoroff is it possible to convert .usdz to .arobject? Or create it in Reality Composer app? The only thing I have found for creating .arobject is using Apple's application for scanning objects. – Keyhan Kamangar Jun 30 '21 at 07:59

Thank you! What about Reality Composer? Is it possible to use Reality Composer for detecting 3D assets in the real world? – Keyhan Kamangar Jun 30 '21 at 08:19
