AMF (.amf) Import/Export
Additive Manufacturing File Format (AMF) is an open standard for describing objects for additive manufacturing processes such as 3‑D printing. The official standard is an XML-based format designed to allow any computer-aided design software to describe any 3‑D object to be fabricated on any 3‑D printer. Unlike its predecessor STL format, AMF has native support for color and materials.

Options | |
---|---|
Save small |
Though clearing the render meshes makes the file smaller, it will shade and render more slowly the next time you open the file. |
Save geometry only |
Saves geometry objects only. No layers, materials, properties, notes, or units settings are saved. This is similar to exporting the objects. A new file is made, but it does not become your active Rhino model. |
Save textures |
Embeds external textures used by materials, environments and decals into the model. |
Save plugin data | Saves data attached to objects or the document by plug-in applications. |
