WRL Virtual Reality Modeling File

A a 3D file format used to describe interactive 3D objects and environments. It’s like HTML for 3D = it tells your computer how to display shapes, colors, textures, lighting, and even animations in a virtual space. VRML files can be viewed in web browsers with the right plugin or in 3D modeling software.

Key Features of VRML/WRL

  • 3D Geometry:

    Defines shapes like boxes, spheres, cylinders, and custom meshes.

  • Appearance Settings:

    Supports colors, textures, transparency, and material properties.

  • Scene Hierarchy:

    Uses a node-based structure to organize objects and behavior.

  • X3D Successor:

    The VRML format was developed in the 1990s and became an ISO standard in 1997. It was later superseded by X3D, which is an XML-based format that supports VRML features and provides several extensions.

VRML/WRL File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application simplify the process of importing, exporting, and converting VRML/WRL files into widely used 3D formats such as STL, OBJ, PLY, FBX, and more. Take your VRML models beyond the browser and seamlessly integrate them into CAD, animation, or 3D printing workflows with our powerful VRML converters.

3MF 3D Manufacturing File

An open-source XML file format developed by the 3MF Consortium, a collaboration of companies and organizations in the 3D printing industry. It was designed to overcome the limitations of older formats, such as STL, which only store geometric data, by providing a more comprehensive and extensible framework for additive manufacturing workflows.

Main Advantages Over STL

Unlike STL, 3MF can store additional information, making it a more advanced and versatile choice for additive manufacturing:

  • Color Support:

    Defines the color of individual triangles, enabling more realistic and visually detailed prints.

  • Transparency:

    Specifies opacity levels for triangles or vertices, allowing for the creation of transparent or translucent objects.

  • Textures:

    Supports texture mapping by associating 2D images with 3D models, enhancing realism in prints.

  • Metadata:

    Allows embedding custom data such as author, title, description, and license, facilitating better file management and sharing.

3MF File Conversion

Our products, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, are fully compatible with the 3MF file format. They utilize the official lib3mf library to enable seamless import and export of 3MF files. A significant limitation of the 3MF format is its lack of support for group hierarchies. When converting a 3D model containing nested subgroups - often used for organizational purposes - these structural relationships are not preserved in the 3MF file. Despite this, 3MF remains a powerful and modern format for 3D printing, offering a rich set of features that go beyond traditional STL files.
