Convert 3MF to 3DS via Node.js
Render 3MF as 3DS without any 3D modeling and rendering software.
How to Convert 3MF to 3DS Using Node.js
In order to convert 3MF to 3DS, we’ll use
Aspose.3D for Node.js via Java
API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use document manipulation and conversion API for Node.js. You can download its latest version directly from
and by adding configuration in pom.xml. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console.
Command line
install aspose.threed
Steps to Convert 3MF to 3DS via Node.js
Node.js programmers can easily load & convert 3MF files to 3DS in just a few lines of code.
- Load 3MF file via the Scene class
- Create an instance of 3dsSaveOptions
- Set 3DS specific properties for advanced conversion
- Call the Scene.save method
- Pass the output path with 3DS file extension & object of 3dsSaveOptions
System Requirements
Before running the Node.js conversion code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.
- Microsoft Windows or Linux based OS.
- Install Oracle JDK 7 or higher.
- Aspose.3D for Node.js referenced in your project.
Node.js 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. 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.

A file with 3DS extension represents 3D Studio (DOS) mesh file format used by Autodesk 3D Studio. Autodesk 3D Studio has been in 3D file format market since 1990s and has now evolved to 3D Studio MAX for working with 3D modeling, animation and rendering. A 3DS file contains data for 3D representation of scenes and images and is one of the popular file formats for 3D data import and export. It considers information like camera locations, Mesh data, lighting information, viewport configurations, smoothing group data, bitmap references and attributes to create vertices and polygons for rendering a scene.
