Convert 3MF to USDZ
Convert a 3MF file to USDZ in your browser. Free, no upload, no sign-up.
Convert 3MF files to USDZ directly in your browser. The converter parses the 3MF mesh, rebuilds it in memory and writes it out as USDZ, keeping every triangle. Nothing is uploaded, there is no file size limit beyond your computer's memory, and the result downloads instantly. USDZ lets iPhone and iPad users view the model in augmented reality directly from Safari, with no app required.
How to convert 3MF to USDZ
- 1Drop your 3MF file
Drag a .3mf file onto the box above or click to choose one. Slicer project files (.3mf from Bambu Studio or PrusaSlicer) are supported; embedded print settings are ignored, geometry and colors are read.
- 2Check the preview
The model renders in 3D so you can confirm it loaded correctly. Dimensions, volume and triangle count are shown next to it; open edges are flagged if the mesh is not watertight.
- 3Download the USDZ
Adjust the export options if needed and click download. Geometry and basic materials are exported. Meshes without materials get a neutral gray so AR Quick Look renders them.
What is a 3MF file?
3MF is the modern replacement for STL, published by the 3MF Consortium (Microsoft, Autodesk, HP, Prusa and others). It is a ZIP archive containing XML that stores units, colors, materials, multiple objects and print settings. Slicers such as Bambu Studio and PrusaSlicer use it as their project format.
Commonly used by: Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, Cura, Windows 3D Builder, Fusion 360

What is a USDZ file?
USDZ is Apple's packaging of Pixar's Universal Scene Description. It is the format iOS uses for AR Quick Look: open a .usdz link in Safari and the model appears in your room through the camera. It stores meshes, PBR materials and textures in a single uncompressed ZIP.
Commonly used by: Apple AR Quick Look, iPhone and iPad, Reality Composer, Pixar USD pipelines
