Convert JSON to 3MF: All You Need to Know

JSON to 3MF: Resources

Provided below is a curated list of supplementary resources focusing on the interoperability and exchange between JSON and 3MF files. Leverage these to streamline the JSON to 3MF files conversion.


CityJSON File JSO

JSON (CityJSON) is an optimized version of the CityGML OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) file format, designed for the efficient storage and exchange of 3D city models and landscapes. The CityJSON file format supports city object names, nested hierarchy, reusable geometry component instances, and custom materials with texture images. Our Autoconverter JSON file converter facilitates seamless reading and writing of CityJSON JSON geometries with custom attributes. It also allows for smooth conversion between other common 3D mesh file formats.


3MF File 3MF

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.
