What is the 3MF format?

3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) is the modern replacement for STL. Contains geometry, colors, textures, metadata and multiple objects in one file. Standard for multimaterial printing.

3MF advantages

  • Colors and textures - for multicolor/multimaterial
  • Metadata - author, license, print profiles
  • Multiple objects in one file
  • Units - automatic mm/inch conversion
  • Compression - smaller files than STL
