Description

3MF files are a modern 3D file format designed specifically for use with 3D printable models (additive manufacturing). It was designed to be the successor to the popular legacy STL format (also a common format in 3D printing) to overcome the limitations of that format.

The format of 3MF files is XML-based and compressed with standard Zip file compression, resulting in small, easily transferable files. The format supports 3D meshes along with associated materials and textures, all contained within the Zip file.

3MF Notes

If your 3MF file contains textures, these will be included in the conversion process. If a material contains color information, this will be translated where possible.

  • Face and vertex colors

Description

The PNG graphics file format is a commonly used format for storing 2D images, which can be highly compressed by the use of a palette if the image has a sufficiently low number of colors (256 colors in general). The PNG file is then further compressed using the DEFLATE compression algorithm to ensure small file sizes that are fast to download.

PNG files are seen as the logical successor to the GIF image file format and was devised in the mid-1990s as a superior format to GIF. PNG files are generally used for company logos, icons, and other non-photographic image content. Saving a digital photo in the PNG format will create a much larger file than an equivalent JPG image, hence the PNG format being unsuitable for most digital photo content.

How can I convert my 3MF file to PNG?

First click the "Upload..." button, select your 3MF file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the 3MF to PNG conversion has completed, you can download your PNG file straight away.

How long does it take to convert my 3MF to PNG?

We aim to process all 3MF to PNG 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 3MF to PNG 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 3MF to PNG on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the 3MF file you submit to us. The resulting PNG file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.

Do I need a high-spec. computer to use the 3MF to PNG converter?

No. All our conversion tools process your 3MF 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 PNG file quickly.

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

Yes! Our 3MF to PNG 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 3MF conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.

Can I get support with converting my 3MF to PNG?

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