AMF File
AMF (Additive Manufacturing) file format is a new standard for the 3D printing additive manufacturing technology to represent a 3D design for the fabrication process on a 3D printer machine. In comparison to the STL file format common in the 3D printing industry, the AMF file format can offer a native support for the color, materials, texture images and reusable geometry component instances. Moreover the AMF file content can be compressed with the ZIP compression algorithm reducing the AMF file size significantly. The import and conversion of the AMF files is fully supported by our Autoconverter and Automesher Application file conversion utilities.
OBJ File
OBJ (Alias Wavefront Object) is a text-based file format for 3D geometry objects which is very popular and widely supported by many 3D software programs. The OBJ file format is capable of storing named group objects, surface materials with transparent colors and texture images, and quads or triangles as geometry primitives. However, our Autoconverter software will simplify every OBJ quad primitive with two triangles as only triangular facets are supported during the OBJ file conversion. It's important to mention that due to a textual format OBJ files will always be much bigger than the binary files, for example 3DS (3D Studio) or SKP (SketchUp).
