About Configuration Options

Layout

View Layout

DefaultHorizontal four-up

Choose multi-view arrangement: horizontal four-up, vertical four-up, or a custom set of views and columns.

Horizontal four-upRecommended

Front, right, top and perspective in one row (1×4).

Vertical four-up

Front, right, top and perspective in one column (4×1).

Custom

Pick views and column count for a custom grid.

Custom views

When using custom layout, choose which camera directions to include.

Columns

Default3

Range1 – 5

Number of columns in the custom grid (1-5, capped by selected view count).

Margin & spacing

Margin

Description:
3MF is a modern 3D printing format from the 3MF Consortium, based on XML and packaged as a ZIP container. It preserves mesh data and supports per-part color, material, texture, and print properties. It is recommended for multi-color and multi-material printing. Major slicers (Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer) have native support. Compared to STL, 3MF carries richer information but is more complex. Some older slicers and printers may not recognize it. When converting from other formats, color and material mapping depend on source data. For simple single-color printing, STL remains sufficient. For multi-color, multi-material, or print parameter transfer, choose 3MF.

Notes:

  • Some older slicers and printers may not support 3MF
  • More complex than STL but carries richer information

Supported Features:

  • Per-part and per-vertex color support
  • Material and texture preservation
  • XML-based with ZIP compression
  • Native support in Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer

Frequently Asked Questions

View all FAQs
Q

Do screenshots reflect 3MF colors and materials?

A

Colors and basic material data stored in the file are preserved as much as possible and used for rendering. Complex print configurations such as filament mapping or multi-process jobs are not fully reproduced, so trust the shaded preview.

Q

How is this different from STL screenshots?

A

STL files have no color, so their screenshots are mostly gray shading. 3MF often includes part colors and simple materials, which makes it better for color print delivery previews and client confirmation images.

Q

How are multi-part or multi-color 3MF files displayed?

A

Each part is rendered with its stored color and material data. If the source file has no color data, parts appear with default shading. Multi-view layouts help show assembly relationships and overall shape.

Q

Is this suitable for print job sheets or delivery previews?

A

Yes. You can export multi-view images with dimension labels for internal job sheets, client sign-off, and documentation. PNG/JPG/WebP formats and 1×/2×/4× scale options are supported.

Q

Can I freely rotate the model to adjust the camera angle?

A

No. Export uses fixed view directions: front, back, left, right, top, bottom, and perspective. You can choose which views appear in the custom layout, but the camera angle itself cannot be adjusted freely.

Q

Will slicer settings or process information stored in the 3MF appear in the image?

A

No. Only the 3D content is rendered, meaning parts, colors, and materials. Slicer metadata such as print profiles, filament mapping, and process settings is not shown in the screenshot.
