3DM Rhinoceros 3D File

The native file format for Rhinoceros 3D (Rhino), a powerful and versatile NURBS-based 3D modeling software. As Rhino’s default format, 3DM is designed to store precise mathematical representations of curves, surfaces, and solids, making it ideal for high-accuracy modeling across industries.

Supported Geometry Types

Known for its precision and versatility, the 3DM format supports a comprehensive range of geometric data types, making it ideal for both organic freeform modeling and technical CAD applications, including:

  • NURBS Surfaces:

    Enables mathematically precise, smooth, and editable surfaces essential for high-end industrial and automotive design.

  • Polygonal Meshes:

    Stores tessellated geometry for 3D printing, rendering, and simulation.

  • SubD (Subdivision Surfaces):

    Allows for flexible, organic modeling with editable subdivision geometry.

  • Instance References:

    Lightweight object copies (not duplicates) that reference a single source, saving memory and ensuring synchronized updates.

3DM File Conversion

Our software solutions enable seamless conversion between 3DM and other major CAD formats (e.g., STEP, IGES, OBJ, DWG, STL). Autoconverter exports only polygonal meshes (STL, OBJ, etc.), suitable for 3D printing and real-time rendering, while Autoshaper preserves NURBS geometry, ensuring superior accuracy for CAD, CAM, and engineering workflows. Both converters can save 3DM files in legacy formats (Rhino 2.X - 7.X) or the latest Rhino 8.X version, ensuring smooth collaboration across different software environments.

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 It was later superseded by X3D, which is an XML-based format that supports VRML features and provides several extensions.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.
