Dassault Systèmes is proud to be a founding member of the 3MF Consortium, an industry association formed to develop and promote a new full-fidelity file format for 3D printing/additive manufacturing, the 3D Manufacturing Format (3MF). The 3D Manufacturing Format is a file format designed to allow design applications to send 3D models for additive manufacturing to other applications, platforms, services, and additive manufacturing hardware. The primary goal of the 3MF file format is to establish a new standard for additive manufacturing that addresses the shortcomings and complexities of existing file formats. In this talk, we will cover the details of the 3MF format, including the Materials, Production, Beam Lattice, Slice and Volumetric Extensions, the pros and cons of alternate formats, and how you can use 3MF to enable your additive manufacturing workflows in ways you never thought possible. Welcome to the future of additive manufacturing!
