OGEX Open Game Engine Exchange File

A standardized, text-based file format designed for seamless 3D asset exchange between game engines and tools. OpenGEX simplifies pipelines by unifying geometry, materials, animations, and scene hierarchies in a vendor-neutral way. Its modular structure supports extensions for physics, lighting, and metadata - making it ideal for cross-engine workflows in Unity, Unreal, and proprietary systems.

Key Features of OGEX

  • Data Scope:

    Unified storage for geometry, materials, lights, and cameras.

  • Text-Based:

    Uses human-readable ASCII/JSON-like syntax, making it easy to read and edit manually.

  • Animation Support:

    Handles skeletal, morph target, and keyframe animations.

  • Extensible Design:

    Designed to be extended with custom structures without breaking compatibility.

OGEX File Conversion

Automesher Application and Autoconverter leverage the Open Asset Import Library to seamlessly read and convert OGEX files into widely used formats like STL, SKP, OBJ, and STEP, ensuring compatibility across diverse 3D workflows. Preserve animations, materials, and scene hierarchies while transitioning between game engines or CAD tools - try our powerful OGEX converters today to modernize your 3D assets!

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.
