3DS to 3MF
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to the 3DS and 3MF interoperability and exchange that can help you with the 3DS to 3MF conversion.
- Convert 3D mesh files in the batch mode
- Automesher desktop application for Windows to convert 3D file formats
3DS File
3DS (3D Studio) file extension is a famous file format for storing polygonal mesh models with the additional support for the model names, reusable geometry component instances, materials with transparent colors and texture images. For the legacy reasons the maximum length of 3DS model name is 8 characters, and the maximum number of triangles in a single 3DS mesh object is 32.767, therefore during 3DS export process any bigger mesh will be divided into smaller shells. Using our Autoconverter or Autoshaper 3DS file converters you can convert any 3D model into 3DS file format and import it into a common DIALux lighting project.
3MF File
3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) is an open source XML file format developed by the 3MF Consortium to store three dimensional triangles with additional properties e.g. color, transparency or texture coordinates for the 3D printing industry. The 3MF file format becomes a modern replacement for the original STL 3D printing file format. Autoconverter or Automesher Application our 3MF file converters can read and write to and from 3MF file format thanks to the open source lib3mf library provided by the 3MF Consortium. However currently we do not support groups hierarchy for 3MF files.
