AMF Additive Manufacturing File

A modern file format specifically designed for 3D printing and additive manufacturing. Developed as an XML-based successor to STL, AMF represents a new industry standard that enhances print quality, efficiency, and functionality in advanced manufacturing.

Key Features of AMF

  • Photorealistic 3D Printing:

    AMF files boost 3D prints with color, materials, and textures for ultra-realistic results.

  • Smart Geometry Reuse:

    The AMF format supports geometry instance reuse for 3D printing, allowing identical components to be replicated without duplicating data.

  • Compact 3D Models:

    AMF supports ZIP compression, reducing file sizes without affecting the accuracy of your 3D models.

AMF File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application support the import and conversion of AMF files to various 3D formats, including 3MF, STL, SKP, OBJ, DAE, and others. These tools utilize the open-source Asset Import Library, a cross-platform solution that provides comprehensive support for numerous 3D file formats. This integration ensures reliable compatibility and full functionality when working with AMF files throughout the conversion process.

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.
