Convert 3MF to GLB via C#

Render 3MF as GLB without any 3D modeling and rendering software.

How to Convert 3MF to GLB Using C#

In order to convert 3MF to GLB, we’ll use

Aspose.3D for .NET

API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use document manipulation and conversion API for C# platform. Open

NuGet

package manager, search for Aspose.3D and install. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console.

Package Manager Console Command
PM> Install-Package Aspose.3D

Steps to Convert 3MF to GLB via C#

.NET programmers can easily load & convert 3MF files to GLB in just a few lines of code.

Load 3MF file via the constructor of Scene class
Call the Scene.Save method with GLB’s format.
Check resultant GLB file at specified path

System Requirements

Before running the .NET conversion code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

Microsoft Windows or a compatible OS with .NET Framework, .NET Core, Mono.
Development environment like Microsoft Visual Studio.
Aspose.3D for .NET DLL referenced in your project.

A 3D File Processing Library to manipulate 3D files without any modeling and rendering software. The 3D API supports Discreet3DS, WavefrontOBJ, FBX (ASCII, Binary), STL (ASCII, Binary), Universal3D, Collada, glTF, GLB, PLY, DirectX, Google Draco file formats and more. Developers can create, read, convert, modify and control the substance of 3D document formats easily.

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. It is rich enough to fully describe a model, retaining internal information, colour, and other characteristics that makes it extensible for supporting new innovations in 3D printing. The format is extensible, able to be broadly adopted and free of issues besetting other widely used file formats.

glb What is glb File Format?

GLB is the binary file format representation of 3D models saved in the GL Transmission Format (glTF). Information about 3D models such as node hierarchy, cameras, materials, animations and meshes in binary format. This binary format stores the glTF asset (JSON, .bin and images) in a binary blob. It also avoids the issue of increase in file size which happens in case of glTF. GLB file format results in compact file sizes, fast loading, complete 3D scene representation, and extensibility for further development. The format uses model/gltf-binary as MIME type.
