Rhinoceros 3D (3DM) File Format
The 3DM file format is the native format for Rhinoceros 3D (Rhino), a leading NURBS-based 3D modeling software used across industries like architecture, engineering, and industrial design. 3DM files accurately store mathematical representations of curves, surfaces, solids, and meshes, making them essential for precision 3D modeling and CAD workflows.
Key Features of 3DM Files
- NURBS Geometry: Supports precise, smooth surfaces critical for advanced design and engineering projects.
- Polygonal Meshes: Stores tessellated 3D models ideal for rendering, simulation, and 3D printing workflows.
- SubD Surfaces: Allows flexible, editable subdivision modeling for organic shapes and complex surfaces.
- Instance References: Saves memory by creating linked object instances, optimizing large and detailed models.
Convert 3DM Files Seamlessly
Autoconverter and Autoshaper simplify 3DM file conversion to popular formats like STEP, IGES, OBJ, STL, and DWG. Automate the export of 3DM polygon meshes for 3D printing, or preserve NURBS data for engineering-grade CAD models. Save files in legacy (Rhino 2.X - 7.X) or latest Rhino 8.X formats to ensure compatibility across all project environments.
AutoCAD DWG File Format - Convert DWG Drawings
AutoCAD, developed by Autodesk, is an industry-leading CAD software known for its precision, versatility, and native support for the DWG file format. DWG (Drawing) files are the standard format for storing 2D and 3D design data, widely used in architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing industries worldwide.
Key Features of AutoCAD and DWG Files
- Comprehensive CAD Tools: Create professional 2D technical drawings and detailed 3D models using AutoCAD’s robust drafting and modeling capabilities.
- DWG File Compatibility: Work directly with native .dwg files to ensure maximum data accuracy, cross-platform collaboration, and version control.
- Custom Automation: Automate repetitive tasks and customize your workflow using AutoLISP, ObjectARX, and custom scripts for greater efficiency.
- Dynamic Blocks & Parametric Design: Use smart blocks with adjustable parameters to simplify complex designs and speed up drawing creation.
