Here are 3 simple steps to convert your 3MF file using our fast and free 3MF file converter tool.
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
Our 3MF converter can both convert from and to 3MF files and our developers are working to improve our 3MF conversion tools in future versions. When converting 3D Model/Mesh files using our 3MF converter we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.
Our 3MF conversion tool can convert most 3D geometry including mesh vertices and faces with no loss of detail. Any color materials contained within the 3D model file will be converted where possible.
No, due to the different methods of assigning textures to a 3D model textures are not currently supported. If your 3MF model contains textures or references to external texture files, these will be ignored.
Yes! Our 3MF conversion tools are 100% free to use.
No, you can convert as many files as you wish. We do not impose any conversion limits on our 3MF conversion tools.
We aim to process all 3MF conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds however this can be longer for certain files and significantly longer for some larger file formats, so please be patient.
Once your 3MF file has been uploaded and we know the file format you wish to convert it to our bespoke conversion software will convert your 3MF and make it available for you to download with a unique download Url.
Yes, of course it is! Your 3MF, once converted is deleted 1 hour after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
Yes! Our 3MF conversion tools will run on any system with a modern web browser.
