Questions
3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) is a modern 3D printing format. Unlike STL, it can store color, materials and print settings together in a single file.
Drag and drop your .3mf file onto the viewer or click to browse. Your model renders instantly in the browser.
Yes. 3MF stores color and material information, and the viewer displays it, so multi-color models preview more completely than with STL.
STL stores only triangle geometry, while 3MF adds color, materials and print settings in a compact, modern package. Many slicers now prefer 3MF.
No. The 3MF viewer runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to download or install.
No. Your .3mf file is loaded and rendered locally inside your browser, so it never leaves your device. This keeps your models private and loading fast.
You can view 3MF files up to 50MB. For very large or high-detail files, close other browser tabs to free up memory for the smoothest performance.
The viewer is for viewing and inspecting only. If you need to change formats, use the Vega3D 3D Converter to convert between STL, OBJ, GLB, GLTF and more.
Yes. Because it runs in the browser, you can open and rotate 3MF models on a phone or tablet using touch gestures, with no app required.
