3MF

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.
