About This Tool
AMF (Additive Manufacturing File Format) is a modern standard with support for color, materials, and complex geometries. However, many slicers and 3D printers still only accept STL. This converter extracts mesh geometry from AMF files and produces clean STL output compatible with virtually any 3D printing software.

Frequently Asked Questions
What AMF features are lost when converting to STL?
STL only stores mesh geometry. AMF-specific features such as per-vertex colors, multiple materials, curved triangles, texture maps, and print configuration metadata are stripped during conversion. Only the triangle mesh is preserved.
Does the converter support AMF files with multiple objects?
Yes. All mesh objects within the AMF file are merged into a single STL file. If you need to print objects separately, consider splitting them before conversion.
Will curved triangles in AMF be converted correctly?
AMF supports curved triangle patches for smoother surfaces. During STL conversion, curved triangles are tessellated into flat triangles. The tessellation resolution is automatic and generally produces good results for printing.
Is the converted STL binary or ASCII?
The output is binary STL by default, which is more compact and widely supported. You can toggle the format option in conversion settings if you need ASCII STL.
Why would I use AMF instead of STL?
AMF supports color per vertex, multiple materials in one file, curved surfaces, and print metadata. If your slicer supports AMF (e.g., PrusaSlicer, Cura), keeping the AMF format preserves more information. Convert to STL for maximum compatibility with older software.
