Generate Point Cloud to 3MF via Java

Generate Point Cloud to 3MF using Java library without any 3D modeling software.

How to Generate Point Cloud to 3MF File Using Java

In order to generate point cloud to 3MF file, we’ll use

Aspose.3D for Java

API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use point cloud API for Java platform. You can download its latest version directly from

Aspose Maven Repository

and install it within your Maven-based project by adding the following configurations to the pom.xml.

Steps to Generate Point Cloud to 3MF via Java

Java programmers can easily generate point cloud to 3MF in just a few lines of code.

  • Load 3MF file via the constructor of Scene class
  • Get pointcloud object of Aspose.3D
  • Create a transform object through the EvaluateGlobalTransform method
  • Generate point cloud using Merge method
  • Call the Scene.Save method with object

System Requirements

Aspose.3D for JAVA is supported on all major operating systems. Just make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

  • Microsoft Windows or a compatible OS with Java Runtime Environment for JSP/JSF Application and Desktop Applications.
  • Get latest version of Aspose.3D for Java directly from Maven.
 

JAVA code to Generate Point Cloud to 3MF


//The source file that needs to generate the point cloud and the output file after saving
String file = "template.3mf";
String output = "outFile.ply";

//create an instance of Scene
Scene scene = new Scene();
scene.open(file, FileFormat.MICROSOFT3MF);

//Get pointcloud object of Aspose.3D and generate a point cloud
PointCloud pc=new PointCloud();
scene.getRootNode().accept((Node n) ->
{
    if(n.getEntities().size()>0)
    {
        Matrix4 transform=n.evaluateGlobalTransform(true);
        for(Entity entity : n.getEntities())
        {
            if(entity instanceof Geometry){
                Geometry g= (Geometry) entity;
                Merge(pc, g, transform);
            }
            else if(entity instanceof IMeshConvertible){
                IMeshConvertible mc = (IMeshConvertible) entity;
                Mesh mesh=mc.toMesh();
                Merge(pc, mesh, transform);
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
});

// create an instance of newScene
Scene newScene= new Scene(pc);
PlySaveOptions ply = new PlySaveOptions();
ply.setPointCloud(true);
newScene.save(output, ply);

//Merge method for generating point clouds
private void Merge(PointCloud pc, Geometry g, Matrix4 transform)
{
    PointCloud tmp = PointCloud.fromGeometry(g, 10);
    for (int i = 0; i < tmp.getControlPoints().size(); i++)
    {
        Vector4 pt=Matrix4.mul(transform, tmp.getControlPoints().get(i));
        pc.getControlPoints().add(pt);
    }
}

    Java 3D Scene Manipulation Library

    Aspose.3D is a CAD and Gameware API to load, modify and convert 3D files. API is a standalone and does not require any any 3D modeling or rendering software. One can easily use API for Discreet3DS, WavefrontOBJ, STL (ASCII, Binary), Universal3D, FBX (ASCII, Binary), Collada, glTF, PLY, GLB, DirectX and more formats.

    3MF What is 3MF File Format?

    3MF, 3D manufacturing format, is used by applications to render 3D object models to a variety of other applications, platforms, services and printers. It was built to avoid the limitations and issues in other 3D file formats, like STL, for working with the latest versions of 3D printers. 3MF is relatively a new file format that has been developed and published by the 3MF consortium.
