Additive Manufacturing File
A file format that is used for 3D printing and additive manufacturing. It is a new standard that aims to improve the quality and efficiency of the 3D printing process. Here are some of the key features and benefits of AMF:
- AMF File Features: One of the main features of the AMF file format is that it supports color, materials, and texture images. This means that the 3D printed object can have more realistic and detailed appearance. Another feature of the AMF file format is that it allows the reuse of geometry component instances. This means that the same part of the 3D design can be replicated multiple times, without increasing the file size. This can save time and resources in the 3D printing process.
- AMF File Compression: Another advantage of the AMF file format is that it can be compressed using the ZIP compression algorithm. This can reduce the file size significantly, making it easier to transfer and store. The compression does not affect the quality or accuracy of the 3D design, as the AMF file format preserves the original data.
AMF File Converters: Autoconverter and Automesher Application can only import and convert AMF files to other 3D formats, such as 3MF, STL, SKP, OBJ, DAE, and many others. We use the open asset import library, which is a cross-platform library that supports many 3D file formats. By using this library, we can ensure the compatibility and functionality of the AMF files.
Graphics Language Transmission File
A file format developed and maintained by the Khronos Group organization, a consortium of industry leaders that creates open standards for graphics, media, and parallel computing. It is designed to facilitate the efficient storage and exchange of 3D models. It has the following features:
- GLTF Versions: There are two versions of the GLTF file format that are available:
- GLTF 1.0: Supports basic geometry, simple materials with textures, basic skeletal animations with joint hierarchies, scenes with a single root node and a hierarchy of child nodes, etc.
- GLTF 2.0: Supports more features, such as PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, Draco compression, advanced skeletal animations, skinning, morph targets, etc.
- ASCII and Binary Modes: By default, a GLTF file is saved in ASCII text mode, which is human-readable and easy to edit. To save a GLTF file with all referenced texture images in binary mode, the GLB file extension should be used. This reduces the file size and the number of files.
- Embedded Textures: GLTF/GLB files allow for a more streamlined and efficient way to manage 3D assets. By storing textures directly within the file, these formats eliminate the need for separate image files, making the 3D model self-contained and easier to distribute.
GLTF File Converters: Autoconverter and Automesher Application allow you to import and export GLTF and GLB files, and convert them into various other 3D file formats. Our products also support the use of Draco compression, which can significantly reduce the size of GLTF and GLB files without compromising visual fidelity.
