3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) File
The 3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) is an open-source XML-based file format developed by the 3MF Consortium - an industry group composed of leading companies in the 3D printing sector. 3MF was specifically designed to address the limitations of older formats like STL, offering a richer, more extensible framework for modern additive manufacturing workflows. With 3MF, you can store not just the model geometry, but also color, textures, material properties, and metadata within a single compressed file.
Key Advantages of 3MF Over STL
Unlike traditional STL files that store only basic 3D geometry, the 3MF format provides a wide range of enhanced capabilities:
- Color Support: Enables full-color 3D printing by defining colors per triangle or per object, enhancing model realism.
- Texture Mapping: Associates 2D image textures with 3D surfaces, producing highly detailed and visually realistic prints.
- Embedded Metadata: Includes detailed information such as author, copyright, licensing, description, and more - improving project management and file documentation.
- ZIP Compression: Uses ZIP-based packaging to efficiently compress and bundle model data, reducing file size while maintaining structure and content.
3MF File Conversion and Workflow
Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application offer full support for importing, exporting, and converting 3MF files. Powered by the official lib3mf library, our software ensures high compatibility and reliable file processing across various 3D printing and CAD workflows.
Note: A current limitation of the 3MF format is its lack of support for nested group hierarchies. When converting complex 3D models with subgroup structures, the hierarchy will be flattened during export. Nevertheless, 3MF remains a highly advanced and preferred format for professional 3D printing, providing significant advantages over older standards like STL.

Keyhole Markup Language (KML) File
The Keyhole Markup Language (KML) file format, originally created by Keyhole, Inc. (later acquired by Google), is a widely used standard for storing and sharing geospatial information. KML files are essential for visualizing geographic data in applications like Google Earth, Google Earth Pro, ArcGIS, QGIS, and other mapping platforms.
Main Features of KML Files
- XML-Based Format: KML files use an easy-to-edit XML structure to define geographic features such as points, paths, polygons, and 3D models for interactive mapping projects.
- Broad Compatibility: KML files are fully supported across popular GIS and CAD applications, enabling seamless data sharing, visualization, and analysis across multiple platforms.
- Rich Media Support: Embed images, videos, links, and other multimedia elements inside KML placemarks and descriptions to create dynamic and informative maps.
