3MF to AutoCAD
The following resources are provided for your reference, focusing on the interoperability and exchange between 3MF and AutoCAD files. They are designed to assist you in the transition from 3MF to AutoCAD file.
- Polyface Mesh or Surface to Manifold Faceted 3D Solid Conversion
- SketchUp SKP Components and AutoCAD DWG Blocks
- KML and KMZ Files in AutoCAD DWG Drawings
- Export OBJ, STL, 3DM, SKP, PLY, and Other 3D Files in AutoCAD
- Integrating WMS Layers with AutoCAD
- Import and Export STL, OBJ, 3DS, PLY, 3DM, SKP, IGES, and STEP Files
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.
AutoCAD Drawing
AutoCAD, a product of Autodesk, is a leading CAD (Computer Aided Design) software program. It supports the native DWG drawing format, which is capable of containing both 2D and 3D geometry data, along with additional project metadata. Our AutoCAD add-ons, Automesher Application and Automapki Application, enable seamless import and export from a wide range of external file formats directly into AutoCAD’s drawing model space. To ensure optimal integration with the AutoCAD environment and efficient translation from external 3D and GIS file formats, we utilize the advanced ObjectARX customization technology for AutoCAD provided by Autodesk.
