Convert 3MF to GLB via Node.js
Render 3MF as GLB without any 3D modeling and rendering software.
How to Convert 3MF to GLB Using Node.js
In order to convert 3MF to GLB, 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 GLB via Node.js
Node.js programmers can easily load & convert 3MF files to GLB in just a few lines of code.
- Load 3MF file via the fromFile of Scene class
- Call the Scene.save method with GLB’s format.
- Check resultant GLB file at specified path
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.

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.
