Free Online GCODE to GLB Converter

Here is our free to use GCODE to GLB 3D model converter tool that will take your GCODE file and convert it to the GLB 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 GLB 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 GLB format whilst maintaining the structural accuracy of your original GCODE 3D model file.

File information for GCODE and GLB

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.

Extension	GLB
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	model/gltf-binary
Format	Binary

The Khronos Group developed GLB files as a format for storing complex 3D models. The format was first introduced in 2015 and aimed to create a format that could be easily adopted by third-party developers. Subsequent versions have followed this initial release, adding more complex features.

Support for GLB files is growing and has found support in many modern 3D model editors, such as Blender, which currently supports importing from and exporting to the GLB format.

Mesh Geometry

At the heart of the GLB format is its ability to store 3D geometric mesh data, which comprises vertices, faces, normals (both face and vertex normals), and texture coordinates. The data is saved in a compact binary format, ensuring GLB files are compact and easy to distribute.

GLB Converter Capabilities

As the GLB 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 GLB file.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert my GCODE to GLB?

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 GLB completes, use the provided link to download your GLB file.

How long does it take to convert my GCODE file to GLB?

We aim to process all GCODE to GLB 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.
