Precision: Number of decimals to use for coordinates in the 3MF file.If this is disabled, the unmodified meshes will be saved to the 3MF file instead. This embeds these modifiers permanently in the file. Apply modifiers: Apply the modifiers to the mesh data before exporting.The models are scaled by this factor from the coordinate origin. Scale: A scaling factor to apply to the models in the 3MF file.Other objects will not be included in the 3MF file. Selection only: Only export the objects that are selected.The following options are available when exporting to 3MF: They are not scaled individually from the centre of each mesh, but all from the coordinate origin. All of the mesh data loaded from the 3MF files will get scaled by this factor from the origin of the coordinate system. Scale: A scaling factor to apply to the scene after importing.

The following options are available when importing 3MF files: This allows you to export your scene to a 3MF file. A new entry will also appear under the File -> Export menu with the same name. When you click that, you'll be able to select 3MF files to import into your Blender scene. When this add-on is installed, a new entry will appear under the File -> Import menu called '3D Manufacturing Format'. The add-on is being considered for inclusion in Blender as a community add-on here. (Note: If searching with the search box, exclude the 'Import-Export' text since this is the category, not part of the add-on name.

Under the 'Testing' category, find the add-on called 'Import-Export: 3MF format'.

In Blender, go to Edit -> Preferences and open the Add-ons tab on the left.

To install this add-on, currently you need to tell Blender where to find a. This add-on requires Blender 2.80 or newer. To that end, the aim of this add-on is to make Blender a more viable alternative as CAD software for additive manufacturing. In this scenario, Blender serves as the CAD software. They can communicate not only the model, but also the intent and material of a 3D printing job from the CAD software to the CAM software (slicer). This is a Blender add-on that allows importing and exporting 3MF files.ģD Manufacturing Format files (.3mf) are a file format for triangular meshes intended to serve as exchange format for 3D printing applications.
