Additive Manufacturing File
A modern file format specifically designed for 3D printing and additive manufacturing. Developed as an XML-based successor to STL, AMF represents a new industry standard that enhances print quality, efficiency, and functionality in advanced manufacturing.
Key Features of AMF
- Photorealistic 3D Printing: AMF files boost 3D prints with color, materials, and textures for ultra-realistic results.
- Smart Geometry Reuse: The AMF format supports geometry instance reuse for 3D printing, allowing identical components to be replicated without duplicating data.
- Compact 3D Models: AMF supports ZIP compression, reducing file sizes without affecting the accuracy of your 3D models.
AMF File Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application support the import and conversion of AMF files to various 3D formats, including 3MF, STL, SKP, OBJ, DAE, and others. These tools utilize the open-source Asset Import Library, a cross-platform solution that provides comprehensive support for numerous 3D file formats. This integration ensures reliable compatibility and full functionality when working with AMF files throughout the conversion process.
Rhinoceros 3D File
The native file format for Rhinoceros 3D (Rhino), a powerful and versatile NURBS-based 3D modeling software. As Rhino’s default format, 3DM is designed to store precise mathematical representations of curves, surfaces, and solids, making it ideal for high-accuracy modeling across industries.
Supported Geometry Types
Known for its precision and versatility, the 3DM format supports a comprehensive range of geometric data types, making it ideal for both organic freeform modeling and technical CAD applications, including:
- NURBS Surfaces: Enables mathematically precise, smooth, and editable surfaces essential for high-end industrial and automotive design.
- Polygonal Meshes: Stores tessellated geometry for 3D printing, rendering, and simulation.
- SubD (Subdivision Surfaces): Allows for flexible, organic modeling with editable subdivision geometry.
- Instance References: Lightweight object copies (not duplicates) that reference a single source, saving memory and ensuring synchronized updates.
3DM File Conversion
Our software solutions enable seamless conversion between 3DM and other major CAD formats (e.g., STEP, IGES, OBJ, DWG, STL). Autoconverter exports only polygonal meshes (STL, OBJ, etc.), suitable for 3D printing and real-time rendering, while Autoshaper preserves NURBS geometry, ensuring superior accuracy for CAD, CAM, and engineering workflows. Both converters can save 3DM files in legacy formats (Rhino 2.X - 7.X) or the latest Rhino 8.X version, ensuring smooth collaboration across different software environments.
