Convert COLLADA to 3MF for free

COLLADA is an XML-based digital asset exchange solution for interactive 3D applications, allowing 3D creation applications to freely exchange digital assets without losing information - enabling a powerful toolchain pipeline combining multiple DCC and 3D processing software packages. Its unique interactive mode provides a comprehensive visual compilation. COLLADA FX supports the creation and encapsulation of shaders using OpenGL ES shading language, enabling first-class 3D creation tools to effectively collaborate in creating OpenGL / OpenGL ES applications and assets.

COLLADA is an open standard, originally used for 3D software data exchange, initiated by SCEA, and now supported by many well-known manufacturers such as Autodesk and XSI. COLLADA can be used not only for exchanging data between modeling tools, but also as a scene description language for small-scale real-time rendering. Because COLLADA DOM has rich content for representing various elements in the scene, from polygonal geometry to cameras, we can use the COLLADA DOM library to read and process scene files. The programming method of COLLADA DOM is similar to COM.

The 3MF file is a modern 3D file format designed specifically for 3D printable models (additive manufacturing). It aims to be the successor to the popular traditional STL format (also a common format in 3D printing) to overcome its limitations.

The 3MF file format is based on XML and is compressed using standard Zip file compression to generate small, easy-to-transfer files. The format supports 3D meshes as well as all related materials and textures contained in the Zip file.
