3MF 3D Manufacturing File

An open-source XML file format that was created by the 3MF Consortium, a group of companies and organizations involved in the 3D printing industry. Unlike the older STL format, which only stores the geometry of 3D models, 3MF can also store additional information, such as:

• Color: 3MF can define the color of each triangle in a 3D model, allowing for more realistic and detailed prints.
• Transparency: 3MF can specify the opacity of each triangle or vertex in a 3D model, enabling the creation of transparent or translucent objects.
• Texture: 3MF can associate a 2D image with a 3D model, and map the image coordinates to the model coordinates, resulting in textured prints.
• Metadata: 3MF can include custom data such as author, title, description, or license for each 3D model, facilitating the sharing and management of 3D files.

3MF File Converters: Our products, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, are compatible with 3MF. To import and export 3MF files they utilize the official lib3mf library. However, there is one limitation that you should be aware of: 3MF does not support group hierarchies, which are used to organize 3D models into hierarchical subgroups. Therefore, if you have a 3D model that contains group hierarchies, you will lose them when you convert it to 3MF.

JPG Joint Photographic Experts Group Image

This file format is a widely used method for compressing digital images, particularly photographs and other images with continuous color variations. Unlike BMP, which stores every pixel without modification, JPEG uses a lossy compression technique that discards some data to achieve smaller file sizes. Here's a breakdown of the key characteristics of JPEG:

• Smaller File Sizes: JPEG compression significantly reduces file size compared to BMP, making it efficient for storage, transmission, and web sharing.
• Adjustable Compression: You can control the level of compression, allowing a trade-off between file size and image quality based on your needs.
• Good Visual Quality: While discarding some data, JPEG often maintains visually acceptable image quality for most photos and web graphics.
• Lossy Compression: Discarded data cannot be recovered, leading to potential loss of image detail and quality, especially in areas with high-frequency information like sharp edges or textures.

JPEG to 3D Converters: You can work with JPEG images and various 3D formats with our Autoconverter and Automesher Application tools. These converters can convert JPEG images into 3D formats like STL, DWG, SKP, 3MF, and others. These tools also work with other popular image formats.
