The 3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) is a modern format designed for 3D printing, offering more features than STL. Converting 3MF to USDZ lets you view your 3D models in augmented reality directly on iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro.
Launch Eyemesh and open your 3MF file: drag and drop the file into the window, or use File > Open (Cmd+O). 3MF files are self-contained — all data is included in the archive.
Inspect your model in the 3D view. Check that textures and materials display correctly. If textures are missing, use the Texture Manager to reassign them manually.
Click the export icon in the toolbar, select the USDZ format, choose a save location, and confirm. The USDZ file is ready — you can send it via AirDrop to an iPhone or embed it on a website.
3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) is a format developed by the 3MF Consortium (Microsoft, HP, Autodesk, etc.) to replace STL in 3D printing. It stores geometry, colors, materials, textures, and metadata in a single compressed file. It is natively supported by Windows 3D Builder, Cura, and PrusaSlicer.
USDZ is a 3D archive format developed by Apple in collaboration with Pixar. It packages a USD file with all its textures into a single uncompressed file. It is natively supported by iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS for augmented reality display via AR Quick Look.
Download Eyemesh on the Mac App Store and convert your 3MF files to USDZ in just a few clicks.
