Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model 3MA Files to X3D

Our free and fast tool will convert your 3D 3MA (3D Modeling App: Sculpt & Draw) model files to a standard X3D (Extensible 3D Graphics) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple 3MA files; up to 200 files at a time can be converted.

To convert your 3MA file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a X3D file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the 3MA to X3D conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

Description

A 3MA file is the native file format of the popular 3D modelling app: sculpt & draw and contains 3D geometry and texture information used by the app.

The contents of the file itself contains JSON data capturing the geometry vertices, normals, texture coordinates and more. These files can be opened and edited with the 3D modelling app.

Description

The X3D file format was introduced in 2002 as a successor to the 3D VRML (WRL) file format. X3D files contain 3D mesh and model information defined using vertices, faces, normals, and material data, making them broadly as capable as the older VRML format.

X3D files are structured XML text-based files that allow full 3D scenes to contain models comprised of 3D mesh data and other simple shapes. There are browser extensions that allow X3D files to be directly embedded within HTML to allow rendering directly to a web page; however, the format has not seen widespread adoption.

X3D Notes

X3D files support material and color information. If your uploaded model contains color information, our tool will attempt to save this in the X3D file at the end of the conversion process. Texture information is not supported at this time.

Supported Features

  • Mesh geometry
  • Mesh material colors
  • Vertex colors

Unsupported Features

  • Textures

How does it work?

Converting from the 3MA file format to X3D can be a complex process, and any tool used for this conversion process needs to be able to handle a variety of data conversion tasks as well as identify any defects within the 3D model and fix them. Here we will explain the conversion process used by our tool to accurately convert your 3MA file to a valid X3D 3D model. Let's start with the conversion process, which involves the following steps:

Step 1: Read the Source 3MA File

In its simplest form, an 3MA file is a plain text file containing human-readable 3D data such as vertices, faces, normals, and more. When combined, these make up the 3D model you see on your screen.

When our tool reads this 3D data, all we are interested in are the vertices, faces, and normals, as this is the only data that can be accurately converted into the final X3D file.

The 3MA file can contain other data, such as material definitions and textures, that describe how a particular set of 3D geometry should be rendered. As we are creating an X3D file, which does not support materials and textures, we will be ignoring this data if it is present in the 3MA file.

For more information regarding the 3MA file format, please see this great article that goes into a lot of detail explaining the 3MA format.

Step 2: Process File Data

With the 3MA file data read, our tool generates an internal representation of the full 3D model and will attempt to fix any geometry issues encountered. Along with repairing any issues with the 3D model, the tool will remove any duplicated vertices and prepare the model for exporting to the X3D format.

Step 3: Saving to the X3D Format

With the conversion process entering its final stages, our tool now needs to take the in-memory 3D model we have created in step 2 and convert it to the X3D format.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have several 3MA files; can I batch convert my 3MA to X3D?

Yes! Our 3MA tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 200 3MA files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the X3D files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.

How can I convert my 3MA file to X3D?

First click the "Upload..." button, and select your 3MA file to upload. You can also drag and drop your file onto the tool. Once your file is selected, you can set any configuration options. When the 3MA to X3D conversion has completed, you can download your X3D file straight away.

How long does it take to convert my 3MA to X3D?

We aim to process all 3MA to X3D conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.

How accurate is the 3MA to X3D conversion?

We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.

Is it safe to convert my 3MA to X3D on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the 3MA file you submit to us. The resulting X3D file, once created, is stored for 4 hours after upload; after this time it is deleted, and the short-term download link will stop working. You can create a long-term download Url with most tools that will ensure the file is retained for 24 hours, allowing you to download the file when convenient. Our tools also come with a Delete button, allowing you to delete the file immediately.

Do I need a high-spec. computer to use the 3MA to X3D converter?

No. All our conversion tools process your 3MA file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted X3D file quickly.

Can I convert my 3MA to X3D on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our 3MA to X3D tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.

What if I am using an Ad Blocker, will that affect things?

Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our 3MA conversion tool please consider white-listing our website. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits and some settings may not be available when using our tools. Processing/conversion and download times will also be longer.

Can I get support with converting my 3MA to X3D?

Yes. When you have converted your 3MA to X3D, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
