Open Game Engine Exchange File
A standardized, text-based file format designed for seamless 3D asset exchange between game engines and tools. OpenGEX simplifies pipelines by unifying geometry, materials, animations, and scene hierarchies in a vendor-neutral way. Its modular structure supports extensions for physics, lighting, and metadata - making it ideal for cross-engine workflows in Unity, Unreal, and proprietary systems.
Key Features of OGEX
- Data Scope: Unified storage for geometry, materials, lights, and cameras.
- Text-Based: Uses human-readable ASCII/JSON-like syntax, making it easy to read and edit manually.
- Animation Support: Handles skeletal, morph target, and keyframe animations.
- Extensible Design: Designed to be extended with custom structures without breaking compatibility.
OGEX File Conversion
Automesher Application and Autoconverter leverage the Open Asset Import Library to seamlessly read and convert OGEX files into widely used formats like STL, SKP, OBJ, and STEP, ensuring compatibility across diverse 3D workflows. Preserve animations, materials, and scene hierarchies while transitioning between game engines or CAD tools - try our powerful OGEX converters today to modernize your 3D assets!
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 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.
- Transparency and Opacity: Supports adjustable transparency for parts of the model, allowing the creation of translucent and transparent objects.
- 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.
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.
