3DM 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.


FBX FBX (Filmbox) 3D Model File Format

The FBX file format is a proprietary, industry-standard format for 3D models, assets, and animations. Originally developed by Kaydara and later acquired by Autodesk, FBX has become a universal 3D interchange format. It enables seamless transfer of 3D data - including complex hierarchies, materials, textures, and animations - between modeling, animation, and rendering software, ensuring consistent and efficient 3D workflows.

Key Features of FBX Files

  • Embedded Textures: FBX files store texture images directly within the 3D file, eliminating the need for external assets and ensuring consistent model appearance across different platforms and applications.
  • Reusable Geometry Components: FBX supports modular storage of geometry components, enhancing model consistency, reusability, and efficiency.
  • Hierarchical Assembly Structures: The format captures complex assembly structures and object hierarchies, enabling detailed and organized 3D scenes.
  • Animation Support: FBX files can embed animation data - including skeletons, keyframes, and motion capture - making them ideal for game development, film production, and AR/VR applications (though animation support may vary between software).

FBX File Conversion Solutions

Our Autoconverter and Autoshaper software provide powerful, high-fidelity FBX file conversion to and from 30+ CAD and 3D file formats (including SKP, STEP, OBJ, STL, and more). Whether you are optimizing mesh models for games or translating engineering-grade NURBS surfaces, our tools ensure maximum data preservation - including textures, materials, hierarchies, and animations - throughout the conversion process.
