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

We aim to process all 3MF to FBX 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 FBX 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 FBX work?

In order to successfully convert an 3MF formatted file to the FBX 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 FBX 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 FBX format.

Convert the data from 3MF to FBX

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 FBX file format. Part of this process ensures checking the capabilities of the FBX format and removing any data that cannot be represented.

Save to the FBX format

At this point, the 3MF to FBX conversion tool will have the 3D model in a state that is ready to be transferred to the FBX format. Our tool creates the FBX file, ensuring all the model data is present and is formatted to match the FBX file specification to ensure the file opens in compatible FBX file editors.

If the 3MF file contains texture images, these will be exported to a format that is compatible with the FBX 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 FBX

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.

FBX files are an open 3D file format developed by Autodesk for use with their Maya and 3Ds Max applications. An FBX file may contain any number of 3D objects, their associated geometry, materials, textures, animations, and more, all within a single convenient package.

The content of an FBX file is a mix of binary and ASCII text, producing a format that is both human-readable and compact. Due to their compact size, ease of use, and widespread support, FBX files are a popular choice for creating 3D animations and are also a staple in the videogame development scene.

The development of the FBX format continues to this day, with new features being included in each release. Along with being used within Autodesk's own editing solutions, FBX files can also be opened and edited in other popular 3D modeling applications, such as Blender.

Information for converting from 3MF to FBX

Your 3MF file will be converted to a FBX 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 FBX support color material information, our tool will also attempt to convert the color information.
