Overview

How to Convert 3MF to PLY Using Node.js

In order to convert 3MF to PLY, 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

Aspose Maven Repository

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 PLY via Node.js

Node.js programmers can easily load & convert 3MF files to PLY in just a few lines of code.

  1. Load 3MF file via the Scene class
  2. Create an instance of PlySaveOptions
  3. Set PLY specific properties for advanced conversion
  4. Call the Scene.save method
  5. Pass the output path with PLY file extension & object of PlySaveOptions

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.

    PLY What is PLY File Format?

    PLY, Polygon File Format, represents 3D file format that stores graphical objects described as a collection of polygons. The purpose of this file format was to establish a simple and easy file type that is general enough to be useful for a wide range of models. PLY file format comes as ASCII as well as Binary format for compact storage and for rapid saving and loading. The file format is used by different applications that provide support for 3D files reading.
