What is 3MF?


A 3MF file is a file format for 3D printing that contains information about the geometry, materials, colors, textures, and other properties of a 3D model. It is an open-source standard developed by the 3MF Consortium, which includes companies like Microsoft, Autodesk, HP, and others.
