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.
Polygon File
A a simple and flexible file format to store 3D mesh data. It supports vertices, faces (triangles/polygons), colors, normals, and custom properties. PLY is also known as the Stanford Triangle Format as it was developed at Stanford University in the early 1990s. It still remains a popular choice for storing 3D geometry.
Key Features of PLY
- Flexible Structure: Supports vertices, faces (triangles/polygons), edges, and custom data.
- Properties: Can store RGB colors, normals, texture coordinates, transparency, and user-defined attributes.
- ASCII & Binary Formats: PLY files can be saved in ASCII (readable) or binary (compact) form.
