Why 3MF Is Becoming the Default File Format for Additive Manufacturing: Presented by 3MF

Focusing on data flow, storage, and communication for 3D printing. The fidelity of geometric and additive manufacturing information is constrained by outdated methods of communication. File formats developed in the 1980s were sufficient for the rapid prototyping applications of their time but fall short in conveying the complexity and depth of data required for today's and future additive manufacturing processes. This panel will provide an overview of current adoption of 3MF at both the part, and build level, and seek feedback on future developments. Engage with industry leaders and contribute to the evolution of additive manufacturing file formats.
