COB to 3MF
Below, you'll discover a compendium of resources dedicated to the interoperability and exchange of COB and 3MF file formats. These will aid in the smooth conversion from COB to 3MF file.

COB File
The COB (Caligari TrueSpace Object) file format is a 3D object proprietary file format developed by the Caligari Corporation. These COB files can be encoded in both ASCII and binary formats. Generally, binary files are preferred due to their smaller size and faster processing times. Our software, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, have the ability to read and import COB files. This capability is made possible by the open asset import library. As a result, we can support custom materials, textures, UV coordinates, and other common 3D object properties that are stored within a COB file.
3MF File
The 3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) is an open-source XML file format developed by the 3MF Consortium. It’s specifically designed to store three-dimensional triangles, along with additional properties such as color, transparency, or texture coordinates, catering to the needs of the 3D printing industry. The 3MF file format is considered a modern alternative to the legacy STL format for 3D printing. Our Autoconverter software and Automesher Application are capable of reading from and writing to the 3MF files, leveraging the open-source lib3mf library provided by the 3MF Consortium. However, please be aware that group hierarchies are not supported for 3MF files.
