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.

IV Inventor File

The IV format is a 3D graphics file standard developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) for representing complete 3D scenes. As a text-based format, it stores hierarchical scene graphs containing geometric shapes, materials, lighting, textures, and environment properties. Closely tied to the Open Inventor toolkit, this format served as a foundational C++ library for 1990s 3D graphics development.

Key Features of IV

  • File Structure:

    Uses human-readable ASCII encoding with nested node hierarchies that organize 3D scene elements.

  • Format Origin:

    Developed by Silicon Graphics in the early 1990s as the native file format for their Open Inventor 3D graphics toolkit.

  • Scene Representation:

    Implements a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure to define parent-child relationships between 3D objects.

  • Visual Attributes::

    Stores comprehensive material definitions including ambient/diffuse/specular colors, shininess, and transparency.

  • Texture Mapping:

    Supports both procedural and image-based textures with UV coordinate mapping.

IV File Conversion

Autoconverter simplifies the process of converting your 3D models into the IV format, ensuring seamless compatibility with both legacy and modern 3D tools. Our IV files converter preserves your geometry, materials, and scene hierarchy in a human-readable structure that remains editable across workflows. Still using legacy Open Inventor tools?
