3MF Import/Export with Material/Paint data
Import and export 3MF - Material and Paint supported, Orca/Bambu Prusa/Super slicers all supported, many features included.
Core 3MF Support
- Import and export 3MF Core Specification v1.4.0
- Correct ZIP / OPC package structure
- Proper handling of units, build items, and object hierarchies
- Robust parsing with recovery-oriented import behavior
- Multi-object and multi-build support
- Linked duplicates (Alt+D) export efficiently as shared components (smaller files), and re-import as linked duplicates
- Optional modifier application on export
- Selection-only and hidden-object export options (with clear warnings when things are skipped)
- Configurable coordinate precision
- Drag & drop .3mf files directly into Blender’s viewport (with a quick options popup)
- Flexible import placement (keep original / world origin / 3D cursor, with origin placement options)
- Choose to keep the objects extracted location, place at world origin, or place at your 3d cursor.
- Full support for Base Materials (basematerials) extension
- Full support for PBR materials (metallic, specular, and translucent workflows)
- Textured PBR support for base color / roughness / metallic maps (with textures brought along in the 3MF)
- Face-level color preservation via Blender materials
- Stable color round-tripping across import/export cycles
- Smarter material reuse on re-import (reduces duplicate materials)
