Open 3MF File

A 3MF extension file is a file saved in a 3D manufacturing format, which is used by various design programs that essentially work with 3D models.

Thus, the 3MF file contains a 3D model, compressed in ZIP, and additionally has material and property information.

3MF files can also store a print ticket, a thumbnail image, and one or more digital signatures.

The 3MF format has been designed by the 3MF Consortium, created in 2015, to offer a more agile 3D printing process.

From the beginning, the aim has been to standardize the format and make it the only one used from design to manufacturing, replacing other formats such as STL, OBJ, AMF, VRML, and more, in order to reduce interoperability problems.

Because of its versatility, the 3MF file can also store a JPG or PNG thumbnail image, digital signatures, kernel properties, and other metadata.

The 3MF consortium was created by Microsoft in 2015 and was made up of various design software houses, such as Autodesk, HP, Microsoft, GE Global Research, Fit AG, Shapeways, SLM Solutions Group, Ultimaker, Stratasys, Siemens PLM Software and Dassault. Systemes.
