Our free and fast tool will convert most SCAD (OpenSCAD) CAD files to a standard 3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) 3D model 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 SCAD files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.
To convert your SCAD file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a 3MF file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the SCAD to 3MF conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

The OpenSCAD file format, or SCAD, is the native file format of the popular free CAD software OpenSCAD used for creating 3D CAD models. The SCAD software is still in active development, with new features being added with each version.
SCAD files are text-based files containing scripts that allow the designer to describe the CAD model programmatically. SCAD files are then compiled to produce the final 3D render.
SCAD files, when imported, will be converted to 3D geometry comprising vertices and faces. If the SCAD file contains color information, this will be converted where possible.

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 files support material and color information. If your uploaded model contains color information, our tool will attempt to save this in the 3MF file at the end of the conversion process. Textures are supported and will be included in the final 3MF file.
Yes! Our SCAD tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 25 and SCAD files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the 3MF files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your SCAD file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the SCAD to 3MF conversion has completed, you can download your 3MF file straight away.
We aim to process all SCAD to 3MF conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.
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.
Yes, of course! We do not store the SCAD file you submit to us. The resulting 3MF file, once created is deleted 20 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
No. All our conversion tools process your SCAD 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 3MF file quickly.
Yes! Our SCAD to 3MF tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.
Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our SCAD 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.
Yes. When you have converted your SCAD to 3MF, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
