You can use our STL to AMF conversion tool to quickly and easily convert your 3D model files for free. You may upload up to 20 files at one time, and our batch STL to AMF converter will process each 3D model and present you with a download link for each file once completed.
Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.
Our 3D model STL to AMF tool will load your STL 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.
Here are two simple steps to convert your STL to AMF using our fast and free STL converter tool.
First, click the "Upload..." button and select your STL file to upload. Your STL file will be uploaded to our servers. When the STL to AMF conversion has completed, you can download your AMF file right away.
We aim to process all STL to AMF conversions as quickly as possible; this usually takes around 5 seconds; however, this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.
We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development, with new features being added every week.

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

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