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.

PLY Polygon File

A a simple and flexible file format to store 3D mesh data. It supports vertices, faces (triangles/polygons), colors, normals, and custom properties. PLY is also known as the Stanford Triangle Format as it was developed at Stanford University in the early 1990s. It still remains a popular choice for storing 3D geometry.

Key Features of PLY

  • Flexible Structure:

    Supports vertices, faces (triangles/polygons), edges, and custom data.

  • Properties:

    Can store RGB colors, normals, texture coordinates, transparency, and user-defined attributes.

  • ASCII & Binary Formats:

    PLY files can be saved in ASCII (readable) or binary (compact) form.
