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.


STL What is an STL File? (STereoLithography Format Explained)

The STL file format (short for STereoLithography) was developed by 3D Systems, a pioneer in the 3D printing industry, to simplify rapid prototyping and manufacturing processes. Today, STL files are one of the most common file types used in computer-aided design (CAD), digital fabrication, and additive manufacturing workflows. STL models exclusively represent 3D geometry as a triangular mesh, offering high compatibility and fast processing across various 3D printers and modeling software.

Key Features of the STL Format

  • Lightweight and Simple: An STL file contains only the coordinates of vertices and normal vectors of triangles, making it extremely easy for 3D software and printers to interpret.
  • No Textures or Materials: STL models do not store color, texture, transparency, or material information, resulting in pure geometric representations without extra attributes.
  • Two Storage Methods: STL files are available in two distinct formats:
    • Binary STL: The most popular choice due to its small file size, ideal for faster saving, sharing, and printing.
    • ASCII STL: A human-readable text format that explicitly describes each triangle but produces significantly larger files.
  • No Fixed Units: The STL format does not define units (millimeters, inches, etc.). Most programs assume millimeters by default. Our STL files converter can automatically handle unit adjustments during file conversion if needed.

STL File Conversion Made Easy

Looking to convert STL files into other popular 3D formats? Autoconverter and Automesher Application offer powerful, high-precision STL file conversion to formats like STEP, OBJ, and SKP. These tools allow you to:
