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

A file with .usdz is an uncompressed and unencrypetd ZIP archive for the USD (Universal Scene Description) file format that contains and proxies for files of other formats (such as textures, and animations) embedded within the archive and runs them directly with the USD run-time without any need of unpacking. USDZ files are packages whose design is based on the new Ar-level abstraction of a package. Usdz was registered with IANA and has media type name of model and a subtype name of vnd.usd+zip and its details can be found as on IANA registration page.
