How to convert VRML to 3MF

  1. Open the VRML file. Drop your .wrl file on this page. It opens in 3D in your browser.
  2. Pick what you need. Tick the elements or categories you want to keep. You can move, rotate, scale or recolour them first.
  3. Export 3MF. Choose 3MF (.3mf) in the export list and press Export. Written in millimetres, one printable part per element.

VRML. VRML (.wrl) is an older 3D format that full-colour print services still ask for.

3MF. 3MF is the modern 3D-printing format. Unlike STL it keeps separate parts, colours and real units.

Questions

How do I convert VRML to 3MF?

Drop the .wrl file on this page, tick the parts you want, choose 3MF in the export list and press Export. The .3mf file downloads to your computer.

What does the 3MF file keep?

It keeps geometry, colours and element names. 3MF has no place for categories and properties, so those are left out.

How do I open the 3MF file?

Open it in Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, PrusaSlicer or Cura. Each element arrives as its own part with its colour.

Where do I get a VRML file?

Older CAD programs and colour print workflows export VRML.

Is the VRML to 3MF converter free?

Opening, viewing and editing are free. Your first export is free with a free account. After that, Pro is $5 a month or $39 a year for unlimited exports.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The model is read and converted inside your browser tab. It is never sent to a server, and closing the tab clears it.

What do you need it for?

Over 50 formats open here. Find your use, drop the file, and export what the next program wants.
