Convert OBJ to 3DM

File Extension OBJ
Full Name 3D Object Format

Files with the .OBJ extension contain data of three-dimensional object such as 3D coordinates, maps of textures, and walls of polyhedra, saved in a universal format. OBJ files are supported by various applications for creating and editing 3D graphics.

File Extension 3DM
Full Name 3DML Data Format

File with a .3DM extension contains a 3D model consisting of information on surfaces, curves and points stored in an open format utilising both data representations in NURBS nets and polygons. On the www.Opennurbs.org website, a library supporting the 3DM format can be found.

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "OBJ") to another (referred to as "3DM"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, OBJ file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format OBJ to format 3DM becomes essential.

So, how can we perform OBJ to 3DM file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format OBJ and transforming it into format 3DM. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of OBJ to 3DM converters.

Conversion from OBJ to 3DM

How to convert the OBJ file to 3DM?

If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of OBJ to 3DM. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the OBJ file:

  • Please indicate on your computer the source file OBJ, the format of which you are going to change
  • Load the OBJ file to the application
  • Select the output format of the 3DM file (the one that we want to achieve)
  • Select the location to save the output file 3DM on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
  • Confirm conversion
  • Wait for a moment
  • Enjoy the converted 3DM file that can be found in the location selected in step 4
