Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model AMF Files to SKP

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or AMF (Additive Manufacturing File) model files to a standard SKP (SketchUp) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages such as Blender or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple AMF files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

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

How to Convert your AMF to SKP Online?

Here are two simple steps to convert your AMF to SKP.

Upload a AMF

Click the "Upload a AMF File" button and select a AMF to upload. The maximum file size is 100MB.

Download your SKP

Click the download link once completed to receive your SKP file.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my AMF file to SKP?

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

How long does it take to convert my AMF to SKP?

We aim to process all AMF to SKP 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 AMF to SKP 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 AMF to SKP on ImageToStl.com?

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

Can I convert my AMF to SKP on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our AMF to SKP 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 AMF 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.

I have several AMF files; can I batch convert my AMF to SKP?

Yes! Our AMF tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 25 and AMF files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the SKP files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.

Description

The AMF, or additive manufacturing file format, is an open standard 3D file format primarily used within additive manufacturing processes such as 3D printing. The initial release version of the file was in 2011, and the format continues to be developed today.

As this is a 3D file format, the contents, which are XML-based, describe one or many 3D objects broken down into solid volumes defined with vertices and triangles. The format has support for color and texture materials.

AMF Notes

When converting from AMF files, our tool will try to convert any geometric and color data found in the model file.

Supported Features

  • Mesh geometry
  • Mesh colors

Description

The SKP 3D file format is the native file format used by SketchUp. The SketchUp application, which was released back in 2000 and is still going strong today, allows users to create detailed 3D graphics models.

SketchUp is popular amongst architectural designers, game developers, and other professionals and hobbyist users. The SKP format can be opened with the SketchUp application.

SKP Notes

Any model converted to the SKP format will be stored in a triangulated mesh format.

Supported Features

  • Polygon mesh
  • Face colors

How does it work?

Converting from the AMF file format to SKP 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 AMF file to a valid SKP 3D model. Let's start with the conversion process, which involves the following steps:

Step 1: Read the Source AMF File

In its simplest form, an AMF 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.

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

Step 2: Process File Data

With the AMF 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 SKP format.

Step 3: Saving to the SKP 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 SKP format.
