Sure.  All you have to know is the 3-d object file format specification
for your choice of 3-d renedering software.  It may be more involved than
just saving x,y,z coordinates -- you will probably have to have some
extra line definitions to describe how the points are connected, and
also surface definitions to describe the surfaces bounded by the lines.
