AMF 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.


USD Universal Scene Description

Developed by Pixar, is a robust framework for the interchange and collaborative editing of 3D graphics data. It has become essential in the computer graphics industry due to its comprehensive ecosystem that supports large-scale projects.

  • Modularity and Composability: Manage complex USD scenes by composing separate files, allowing different teams to work simultaneously. This enhances collaboration and reduces the risk of conflicts, enabling efficient workflow management in large projects.
  • Cross-Platform/Application: Ensures USD data fidelity across different software and platforms, facilitating seamless collaboration in diverse environments. This interoperability reduces the need for data conversion and minimizes errors during transfers.
  • Hierarchical Structure: USD files Organize data intuitively, making navigation and manipulation of complex scenes straightforward. This structure simplifies the management of intricate details and relationships within a scene.

USD File Converters: Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application software utilize the best-in-class OpenUSD framework for handling USD, USDA, USDC, and USDZ files, ensuring seamless and efficient management of 3D data. With OpenUSD's robust features and unparalleled performance, Autoconverter guarantees high-quality conversion, interoperability across platforms, and streamlined workflows for all your 3D content needs.
