The FBX (Filmbox) format is one of the most widely used 3D formats in the gaming, animation, and architecture industries. Converting FBX to STL lets you prepare your models for 3D printing with any slicer.
Launch Eyemesh and open your FBX file: drag and drop the file into the window, or use File > Open (Cmd+O). If your model contains textures, open the full folder so Eyemesh can access them automatically.
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 STL format, choose a save location, and confirm. The STL file is ready to open in your slicer for 3D printing.
FBX (Filmbox) is a proprietary Autodesk format used for 3D data exchange. It supports geometry, textures, animations, rigs, and cameras. It is the reference format for exchanges between software such as Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, and Unity.
STL (Stereolithography) is the standard format for 3D printing. It describes only the surface geometry as a triangulated mesh, with no color or texture. Compatible with all slicers (Cura, PrusaSlicer, BambuStudio, OrcaSlicer), it is the most common format for additive manufacturing.
