The 3DM file format is a 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) format primarily used by the Rhinoceros CAD software. It enables the storage of both simple and complex 3D models within a standard package and has found many uses within the architectural, engineering, and manufacturing arenas.
The format allows the storage of 3D model geometric data, including mesh and texture coordinate data. This 3D data is stored in the NURBS format, allowing complex objects to be represented with high precision.
Although primarily designed for use with the Rhinoceros CAD software, 3DM files enjoy support amongst other CAD software, with many supporting the import and export of data to the format.
3DM Converter Capabilities
Our 3DM 3D Model/Mesh tool does not support any colour material data contained within 3DM files, so the converted file will not contain any colour information.

A JPG file is a compressed and highly efficient image file format whose aim is to store photographic-quality images using a fraction of the storage space compared to other lossy and non-lossy image compression methods available at the time.
The compression used by JPG encoders is "lossy", meaning image colours that are not perceptible to the human eye are discarded during the compression process. The removal of this colour data greatly reduces the size of the final JPG file with no discernible loss in quality.
Due to their compact and high-quality format, JPG files are one of the primary image formats used by websites, digital and phone/tablet cameras, and more. This widespread support means JPG files can be edited within most popular image editing software.
