Free Online GCODE to 3MF Converter

Here is our free to use GCODE to 3MF 3D model converter tool that will take your GCODE file and convert it to the 3MF 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 GCODE files at one time.

Select File(s)

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 GCODE file file, when uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload. Please download your converted GCODE file file before this time.

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

File information for GCODE and 3MF

Full Name	G-code
Extension	GCODE
Type	3D Model/Point Cloud
Mime Type	text/plain
Format	Text

The GCODE format is a file format mainly associated with 3D printers and CNC machines. These files contain low-level instructions to control these machines; for example, in a 3D printer, these instructions move the print head, adjust the height of the print bed, and control the speed at which the plastic is extruded from the print head.

These GCODE files are created by Slicer software, which takes 3D model files, often in the STL or 3MF format, and converts these models into the low-level instructions present in the GCODE file.

GCODE Converter Capabilities

As the GCODE 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.

Full Name	3D Manufacturing Format
Extension	3MF
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	application/vnd.ms-package.3dmanufacturing-3dmodel+xml
Format	Binary

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 the 3MF 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 3MF file.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert my GCODE to 3MF?

First, click the "Select File" button and choose your GCODE file. We will upload and convert your GCODE file. Once the conversion from GCODE to 3MF completes, use the provided link to download your 3MF file.

How long does it take to convert my GCODE file to 3MF?

We aim to process all GCODE to 3MF file conversions as soon as possible; this should take around 5 seconds; however, this may be longer for larger files.

Is the GCODE format suitable for 3D printing?

No. Most 3D printing slicer software will not support the GCODE format. It is recommended to convert your GCODE file to the STL format if you wish to 3D print it.
