AMF AMF File - Additive Manufacturing File Format for 3D Printing

The Additive Manufacturing File Format (AMF) is a modern XML-based standard specifically designed for 3D printing and digital fabrication. As the official successor to STL, the AMF format enables improved print accuracy, material definition, and advanced printing capabilities for the next generation of additive manufacturing workflows.

Key Features of AMF Files

  • Multi-Material & Color Support: Enhance 3D prints with detailed color, gradient textures, and multiple materials for realistic prototypes and final products.
  • Efficient Geometry Reuse: Save space and improve speed by referencing repeated geometry instead of duplicating mesh data.
  • Compression Ready: Supports ZIP-compressed AMF files to reduce file sizes while preserving model fidelity and print quality.

Convert AMF Files to STL, OBJ, 3MF, and More

Convert AMF to STL, OBJ, DAE, 3MF, and SKP using our powerful tools: Autoconverter and Automesher Application. These solutions use the open-source Asset Import Library (Assimp) to ensure wide compatibility and robust support for 3D file formats. Whether you are prototyping or producing final parts, our AMF file converters deliver the reliability you need for modern 3D printing and CAD workflows.


IV Inventor File

The IV format is a 3D graphics file standard developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) for representing complete 3D scenes. As a text-based format, it stores hierarchical scene graphs containing geometric shapes, materials, lighting, textures, and environment properties. Closely tied to the Open Inventor toolkit, this format served as a foundational C++ library for 1990s 3D graphics development.

Key Features of IV

  • File Structure: Uses human-readable ASCII encoding with nested node hierarchies that organize 3D scene elements.
  • Format Origin: Developed by Silicon Graphics in the early 1990s as the native file format for their Open Inventor 3D graphics toolkit.
  • Scene Representation: Implements a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure to define parent-child relationships between 3D objects.
  • Visual Attributes: Stores comprehensive material definitions including ambient/diffuse/specular colors, shininess, and transparency.
  • Texture Mapping: Supports both procedural and image-based textures with UV coordinate mapping.

IV File Conversion

Autoconverter simplifies the process of converting your 3D models into the IV format, ensuring seamless compatibility with both legacy and modern 3D tools. Our IV files converter preserves your geometry, materials, and scene hierarchy in a human-readable structure that remains editable across workflows. Still using legacy Open Inventor tools? Convert modern FBX/glTF models to pristine IV format with Autoconverter today!
