| Full Name | Rhinoceros 3D |
| Extension | 3DM |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | x-world/x-3dmf |
| Format | Binary |
The 3DM file format is an advanced 3D graphics format based around the NURBS method of representing 3D data. 3DM files are the native format used by the Rhinoceros 3D CAD application.
The advantages of using 3DM files to store 3D data are primarily down to the mathematically superior NURBS method compared to other 3D formats that store 3D objects as a series of triangles, which is how formats such as STL store 3D data.
3DM Converter Capabilities
As the 3DM format currently does not support the use of material colors when used by tool, your converted model will contain only the mesh geometry, material colors will not be transferred to your converted file.

The FBX format, which is short for Filmbox, is a 3D modeling format developed by Autodesk with the aim of making it an open and easy-to-use way to distribute 3D models. The format started out in the mid-1990s and quickly gained traction, with its development continuing to this day.
Along with compatibility with Autodesk's Maya and 3Ds Max applications, FBX files have gained support with other 3D model editors, including Blender.
Mesh Geometry
An FBX file is composed of 3D mesh data, including vertices, faces, normals, textures, and animations, in a text and binary format to produce a portable file that is both easy to develop and compact and efficient as a medium for the distribution of models and full 3D scenes.
FBX Converter Capabilities
As the FBX format currently does not support the use of material colors in 3D models when created using our tool, your converted model will contain only the mesh geometry, material colors will not be transferred to your converted FBX file.
