DXF to 3MF: Resources
Refer to the following resources for additional support on the interoperability and exchange of DXF and 3MF file formats. They will assist you in transitioning from DXF to 3MF files.
- Convert 3D Mesh Files in the Batch Mode
- Enhance BricsCAD V24 with Automesher and Automapki Applications
- Upgrade to Modern 3MF for Full-Color 3D Printing
- Import and Export STL, OBJ, 3DS, PLY, 3DM, SKP, IGES, and STEP Files
- Automesher Desktop Application for Windows to Convert 3D File Formats
DXF Drawing
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is an ASCII file format developed and maintained by Autodesk. It serves as a conduit for exchanging DWG drawing data between AutoCAD and other programs. This is particularly beneficial as the native DWG file format is proprietary and requires a license to use. With our software, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can convert 3D meshes into a set of DXF faces organized in colored layers. This enables further processing and modifications using your default DWG editor.
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.
