Select File(s)

Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.

Please note: Your AMF file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload, so please download your converted AMF file before this time.

Our 3D model AMF to STL tool will load your AMF file and, where supported, attempt to extract all the relevant 3D features, such as geometry, textures, and animations. To access the 3D conversion configuration options, click the button when you have selected your files. The current options support the ability to voxelize your 3D model and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my AMF file to STL?

First, click the "Upload..." button and select your AMF file to upload. Your AMF file will be uploaded to our servers. When the AMF to STL conversion has completed, you can download your STL file right away.

How long does it take to convert my AMF to STL?

We aim to process all AMF to STL 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 AMF to STL 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 AMF to STL work?

In order to successfully convert an AMF formatted file to the STL format, our converter tools will perform several initial checks to ensure the file provided is indeed an AMF 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 AMF files to the exact specification.

Take your AMF file

The AMF file format is a text-based format, meaning its contents are human-readable, making AMF files easy to edit in simple text editors. Within this text-based format are the core elements that make up the 3D model, including vertices, faces, and more. To ensure efficient conversions, our tool will check all data that is contained within the AMF file and remove any information that is duplicated. This not only ensures the conversion completes more quickly, but also the generated STL file size is smaller.

Convert the data from AMF to STL

Now that the data from the AMF 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 STL file format. Part of this process ensures checking the capabilities of the STL format and removing any data that cannot be represented.

Save to the STL format

At this point, the AMF to STL conversion tool will have the 3D model in a state that is ready to be transferred to the STL format. Our tool creates the STL file, ensuring all the model data is present and is formatted to match the STL file specification to ensure the file opens in compatible STL file editors. To ensure a compact file size, our AMF to STL converter will always save the STL file in a binary format.

File format information for AMF and STL

Extension	AMF
Full Name	Additive Manufacturing File
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	text/xml
Format	Text

The AMF file format, which stands for Additive Manufacturing File, is a common 3D model format used for 3D printing. An AMF file can contain multiple 3D models, stored in a manner that is suitable for use with 3D printers.

Each model within the file is stored as a series of vertices, faces, and material information that is needed when 3D printing a 3D object. Data within the AMF file is stored in XML format, making the data human-readable and also structured.

Although there are other formats used within 3D printing circles, such as STL and 3MF, There is still support for AMF files within many 3D printing slicer applications, and our own AMF conversion tools allow converting to and from this useful format.

AMF Converter Capabilities

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

Extension	STL
Full Name	Standard Triangle Language
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	application/vnd.ms-pki.stl
Format	Text
Opens With	Blender, MeshLab, CAD Assistant, DAZ Studio

The STL, or Standard Triangle Language, file format has been around since the '80s and is supported by most modern 3D modeling applications. In particular, the STL format has become something of a standard format within the area of 3D printing, despite the rise of more modern formats such as 3MF.

STL files come in two flavors: binary or text format. The text format is human-readable, making it easy to perform manual edits, but can lead to very large file sizes. As you can imagine, the binary format is much more compact and represents the majority of the STL files you are likely to encounter.

The format itself is very simple; the 3D model is represented by a sequential list of triangles, with each triangle defined with 3 points consisting of their X, Y, and Z positions, along with an additional vector that contains the face normal (the direction the face is pointing). There is an additional attribute block for each triangle; however, this is largely unused and thus unsupported.

When converting your AMF to STL, our tool will attempt to accurately convert any color or material information.

Information for converting from AMF to STL

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