Convert BricsCAD to 3MF Files

BricsCAD to 3MF Conversion

Turn complex exports into simplicity - exporting BricsCAD drawings to 3MF in just 3 steps:

1. Download & Install:

   Export 3MF files directly from BricsCAD drawings using our Automesher Application - simply install the plugin and restart your CAD session.

2. Execute 3MF Export:

   Launch the export process by typing AmExportMesh in the command line. Then, select the desired 3D entities (Polyface Mesh, Polygon Mesh, 3D Solid, 3D Face, or other 3D drawing entities) from your BricsCAD model space.

3. Save as 3MF File:

   In the save dialog, set the file type to 3MF (*.3mf), choose your save location, enter a filename, and click Save to complete the export.

DWG BricsCAD Drawing

Bricsys's BricsCAD is a major contender in the Computer Aided Design (CAD) software market. Known for its powerful drafting and modeling tools, it provides a cost-effective alternative to other CAD solutions while maintaining full compatibility with the latest DWG file format. Built for professionals in architecture, engineering, and construction, BricsCAD combines familiar workflows with advanced features like AI-powered drawing automation and 3D direct modeling.

Key Features of BricsCAD

• Full DWG Compatibility:

  Native support for the latest DWG file format, ensuring seamless collaboration with AutoCAD and other CAD applications.

• AI-Powered Drawing Automation:

  BricsCAD Shape and Machine Learning tools accelerate design workflows.

• Direct 3D Modeling:

  Intuitive push-pull editing for quick conceptual design and modifications.

• Customization & Automation:

  Supports LISP, C++, .NET APIs, and ObjectBRX for deep software extension.

BricsCAD Drawing Conversion

Automesher Application and Automapki Application plug-ins significantly expand BricsCAD's functionality by enabling direct import and export of 3D and GIS data. Supporting industry-standard formats including STL, SKP, OBJ for 3D models and SHP, KML for geospatial information, these tools create seamless connections between BricsCAD and other design platforms. Supercharge your design workflow with Automesher & Automapki apps today - the essential plug-ins that bridge BricsCAD with the world of 3D modeling and geospatial data.

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.
