Google Earth KMZ Placemark File Format
The KMZ file format is a compressed version of KML (Keyhole Markup Language) files, bundling associated resources - such as images, textures, 3D models, and overlays - into a single, efficient archive. Designed for sharing complex geospatial projects, KMZ files are natively supported by Google Earth and Google Earth Pro, making them ideal for professional geographic data visualization and distribution.
Key Features and Benefits of KMZ Files
- Efficient ZIP Compression: KMZ files use standard ZIP compression to dramatically reduce file size, optimize storage space, and enable faster uploads and downloads compared to standalone KML files.
- Comprehensive Geospatial Data Support: Support for points, line strings, polygons, overlays, and 3D models (Collada DAE) allows KMZ files to deliver rich, interactive geographic content.
- Wide Software Compatibility: KMZ files can be seamlessly opened, edited, and shared across popular geospatial applications such as Google Earth, Google Maps, ArcGIS, QGIS, and more, ensuring smooth project collaboration.
KMZ File Conversion Made Simple
With our Automapki Application, you can easily import and export KMZ files within AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD environments. Quickly convert DWG entities - including points, curves, polygons, 3D solids, and raster images - into KMZ format for seamless use in Google Earth. You can also reverse the process, converting KMZ files back into DWG drawings for further editing and enhancement.

3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) File
The 3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) is an open-source XML-based file format developed by the 3MF Consortium - an industry group composed of leading companies in the 3D printing sector. 3MF was specifically designed to address the limitations of older formats like STL, offering a richer, more extensible framework for modern additive manufacturing workflows. With 3MF, you can store not just the model geometry, but also color, textures, material properties, and metadata within a single compressed file.
Key Advantages of 3MF Over STL
Unlike traditional STL files that store only basic 3D geometry, the 3MF format provides a wide range of enhanced capabilities:
- Color Support: Enables full-color 3D printing by defining colors per triangle or per object, enhancing model realism.
- Texture Mapping: Associates 2D image textures with 3D surfaces, producing highly detailed and visually realistic prints.
- Embedded Metadata: Includes detailed information such as author, copyright, licensing, description, and more - improving project management and file documentation.
- ZIP Compression: Uses ZIP-based packaging to efficiently compress and bundle model data, reducing file size while maintaining structure and content.
3MF File Conversion and Workflow
Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application offer full support for importing, exporting, and converting 3MF files. Powered by the official lib3mf library, our software ensures high compatibility and reliable file processing across various 3D printing and CAD workflows.
Note: A current limitation of the 3MF format is its lack of support for nested group hierarchies. When converting complex 3D models with subgroup structures, the hierarchy will be flattened during export. Nevertheless, 3MF remains a highly advanced and preferred format for professional 3D printing, providing significant advantages over older standards like STL.
