3DM to PLY
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to 3DM and PLY interoperability and exchange that could help you with the 3DM to PLY conversion.

3DM Rhino File
3DM (Rhino) file format for Rhinoceros software allows you to store your 3D model as smooth NURBS surfaces, triangular meshes, points or just curves. Using our Autoconverter software you can save only 3DM polygonal meshes with triangular faces, while the Autoshaper product allows you to store NURBS solids or shells which represent your model in the most accurate way. Our 3DM file converters allow you also to save Rhino files with the required 3DM file version, starting from the Rhino 2.X to the most recent Rhino 8.X file version.
PLY File
PLY (Polygon File Format or Stanford Triangle Format) is a file format developed to store three dimensional triangles with additional properties e.g. color, normals, transparency or texture coordinates. However, Autoconverter our PLY file converter can only read and write mesh geometry without the material properties, as in the PLY file they can vary between triangle vertices. You can save PLY files in a binary or ASCII text file format, with the preference for the binary version due to a significant PLY file size saving.
