How long does it take to convert my 3MF to BLEND?

We aim to process all 3MF to BLEND conversions as quickly as possible; this usually takes around 5 seconds; however, this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.

How accurate is the 3MF to BLEND conversion?

We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development, with new features being added every week.

How does converting 3MF to BLEND work?

In order to successfully convert an 3MF formatted file to the BLEND format, our converter tools will perform several initial checks to ensure the file provided is indeed an 3MF file. There are many files out there where the file type extension does not match the data contained within the file. Along with these file type checks, our tools will do additional checks to ensure the file is correctly formatted to match the provided file type. There are many tools out there that do not always create 3MF files to the exact specification.

Take your 3MF file

An 3MF file is a binary data file containing 3D data that makes up the 3D model, including vertices, faces, texture coordinates, and more. To guarantee efficient conversions, our tool will check all data that is contained within the 3MF file and remove any information that is duplicated. This not only ensures the conversion completes more quickly, but also the generated BLEND file size is smaller.

Along with the core data that makes up the 3D model, our tool will check the 3MF file for the presence of texture coordinates to ensure any texture-based materials are converted correctly. Even if the texture files are not presented with the 3MF file, our converter will preserve any texture coordinates when converting to the BLEND format.

Convert the data from 3MF to BLEND

Now that the data from the 3MF file has been processed, our tool can apply any conversion specified options, such as enabling Voxel mode, and with these applied, prepare the data to be converted to the final BLEND file format. Part of this process ensures checking the capabilities of the BLEND format and removing any data that cannot be represented.

Save to the BLEND format

At this point, the 3MF to Blender conversion tool will have the 3D model in a state that is ready to be transferred to the Blender BLEND format. Our tool creates the BLEND file, ensuring all the model data is present and is formatted to match the BLEND file specification to ensure the file can be opened in Blender and other editors that are capable of editing BLEND files.

If the 3MF file contains texture images, these will be exported to a format that is compatible with the BLEND format. For most textures that are stored as JPG or PNG images, these are transferred with no changes. However, if there are other formats, such as TGA, these will be converted to a suitable format.

If an 3MF texture does need to be converted to a different image file format, our tool will ensure the quality and resolution are not degraded during the conversion process.

File format information for 3MF and BLEND

Extension	3MF
Full Name	3D Manufacturing Format
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	application/vnd.ms-package.3dmanufacturing-3dmodel+xml
Format	Binary

The 3MF file format was created as a standard storage medium for 3D models for use within the area of 3D printing. A 3MF file will contain 3D model data stored within an XML-formatted document with additional assets such as image previews and material data. These files are wrapped up within a compressed ZIP file (using the 3MF extension).

The 3MF format was created in response to the constraints of the STL format, which is the most popular format for storing 3D printable models. Unlike the STL format, which can only store triangular information, the 3MF format can store mesh geometry along with material, units of measurement, and other relevant 3D printing information that is impossible to store within an STL file.

Storing the 3D data within a ZIP file container ensures the file size is kept to a minimum while making it easily extendable in the future. 3MF files are widely supported by 3D printing slicer software and are a common export option within 3D editing software.

3MF Converter Capabilities

When converting 3D model or mesh files using our 3MF converter, we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.

Extension	BLEND

Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary
Opens With	Blender

The BLEND file extension is the native 3D modeling file format of the ever-popular Blender 3D modeling software. The Blender format originally came into existence in late 1994 and has since evolved into the advanced 3D format we have today.

The format stores complex 3D mesh data along with textures, animations, lighting, and other information related to 3D scene rendering. The format is popular among those creating 3D videogame graphics and animation sequences due to its advanced features and ease of use.

Along with Blender, BLEND files can also be imported into other popular 3D editing software. The open-source nature of the format allows third-party plugins and scripts to be created to run within the Blender editing environment and extend the format's capabilities.

BLEND Converter Capabilities

When converting your 3MF to BLEND, our tool will attempt to accurately convert any color or material information.

Information for converting from 3MF to BLEND

Your 3MF file will be converted to a BLEND file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our 3MF 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals, and relevant material information. As both 3MF and BLEND support color material information, our tool will also attempt to convert the color information.
