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 and material texture images. 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.
STL File
STL (STereoLithography) is a file format developed by 3D Systems company, the world leader in the 3D printing industry. STL files contain triangular mesh only, without face color, texture, transparency and named groups data. While it is possible to assign RGB color value for each individual vertex, Autoconverter our STL file converter doesn't support this STL file extension. You can save STL files in binary or ASCII text file format, with the preference for the former one due to significant STL file size reduction. The triangles in STL files are always defined in millimeters therefore our STL converters will make the necessary unit conversion if required.
