Free Online 3MF to Blender Converter

Here is our free to use 3MF to Blender 3D model converter tool that will take your 3MF file and convert it to the Blender format ready for loading into your favourite 3D modeling package. Our 3D model converter supports batch processing of your files and can convert up to 20 3MF files at one time.

Drag and drop your files here to upload or click the button above.
A maximum of 20 files can be converted at once.

Please note: Your 3MF file file, when uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload. Please download your converted 3MF file file before this time.

The 3MF to Blender model conversion tool will analyse your 3MF file and convert its 3D mesh data including vertices, surfaces and where applicable vector normals and texture coordinates to the Blender format whilst maintaining the structural accuracy of your original 3MF 3D model file.

The primary purpose of the 3MF format is to store and transmit 3D models for 3D printing. The format is ideally suited to this due to its ability to store not only the 3D model but also additional metadata required for 3D printing an object, such as units of measurement, surface material characteristics, and more.

Mesh Geometry

The 3MF file format is a mesh-based format; more specifically, the mesh is stored as a series of triangles that, when combined, can represent any 3D object. The format can contain many 3D mesh objects in a single file.

3MF Converter Capabilities

As materials containing texture and color information are both supported by the 3MF format, our tool will do its best to include these materials, including any texture files, in the converted file.

The BLEND format is the native 3D model file format used by the ever-popular 3D modeling application Blender. Blender has been around since the 1990s, and it has grown steadily over the years, adding new features with each passing version.

The current version of Blender has many powerful features, is very popular with many budding 3D designers, and is the go-to application for videogame, animation, and film artists.

Mesh Geometry

The BLEND file format is a mesh-based format, meaning the 3D models created within Blender are stored in the form of 3D meshes composed of vertices and faces. Along with 3D object geometry, Blender supports the creation of animations, and this too is included in the BLEND file.
