How to Convert 3DM to BLEND❓
Discover the simplest way to turn 3DM into BLEND using our powerful tool:
🖥️ Convert 3DM to BLEND with Autoconverter
Open Autoconverter, load your 3DM file, and export it as FBX to make it 3DM ready for Blender, simply follow our step-by-step 3DM to FBX tutorial.
🐒 Import 3DM-converted FBX into Blender
In Blender, go to File → Import and pick the .fbx file made from your 3DM file, and the 3DM model will appear in the Blender scene.
💾 Save 3DM model as .blend
Adjust scale/rotation if needed, then File → Save As to store your 3DM file as a native .blend project.

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.
Blender 3D (BLEND) Project File
The BLEND file is the native project format for Blender, the powerful open-source 3D modeling, animation, and rendering suite. Designed to store complete 3D scenes, BLEND files encapsulate models, textures, materials, lighting, animations, and scene settings - enabling a flexible, non-destructive workflow for artists, game developers, and 3D designers worldwide.
Key Features of BLEND Files
- Comprehensive Project Storage: BLEND files consolidate models, rigs, textures, simulations, lighting setups, animations, and more into a single, manageable file.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Fully supported across Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems with seamless interoperability.
- Efficient File Compression: BLEND files utilize integrated gzip compression to minimize storage size while retaining all 3D project data.
- Backward and Forward Compatibility: Blender ensures older BLEND files remain accessible and upgradeable in newer software versions, preserving your project history.
- Multi-Format Export: Export from Blender to formats like FBX, OBJ, STL, GLTF, and more for enhanced versatility and pipeline integration.
Convert BLEND Files to CAD Formats
With our Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can easily import BLEND files and convert them into various 3D file formats, including DWG, SKP, STEP, and FBX. This enables smooth transitions of your Blender-created 3D models into professional CAD workflows while maintaining geometry, object hierarchies, and layer structures.
Note: Our software currently supports importing BLEND files for conversion. Direct export to the BLEND format is not available. We ensure your 3D geometry and organizational data are preserved during the conversion process.
