3MF to 3DM
Refer to the following resources for additional support on the interoperability and exchange of 3MF and 3DM file formats. They will assist you in transitioning from 3MF to 3DM file.
- Save Rhino 3DM File to Any File Version
- Autoconverter Uses Vertex Normals to Display Smooth Meshes
- Convert 3D Mesh Files from the Command Line
- Explode Component Instances into Mesh Groups
- NURBS Surface Reconstruction from Triangle Mesh or Point Cloud Data
- Convert 3D Mesh Files in the Batch Mode
3MF File
The 3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) is an open-source XML file format developed by the 3MF Consortium. It’s specifically designed to store three-dimensional triangles, along with additional properties such as color, transparency, or texture coordinates, catering to the needs of the 3D printing industry. The 3MF file format is considered a modern alternative to the legacy STL format for 3D printing. Our Autoconverter software and Automesher Application are capable of reading from and writing to the 3MF files, leveraging the open-source lib3mf library provided by the 3MF Consortium. However, please be aware that group hierarchies are not supported for 3MF files.
3DM Rhino File
The 3DM (Rhino) is a native file format for Rhinoceros software, which allows for the storage of a variety of 3D geometry data types, including smooth NURBS surfaces, triangular meshes, points, and curves. However, our Autoconverter software exports and saves only polygonal meshes in the 3DM files. In contrast, our Autoshaper product enables the export of NURBS solids, providing a precise representation of your 3D model. These invaluable 3DM file converters also offer the flexibility to save Rhino files in various 3DM file versions, ranging from Rhino 2.X to the most recent Rhino 8.X version.
