Are 3MF colours preserved?

Material colours defined in the 3MF carry over to the USDZ. What doesn't travel is slicer-specific data — print profiles, supports or build plates — since it isn't part of the geometry.

What if the 3MF holds several parts?

Every part comes across and keeps its relative position: the USDZ shows the whole set exactly as it sat on the plate.

Can I print the USDZ?

No, no slicer accepts it. USDZ is for viewing, not manufacturing. Keep the original 3MF for printing, or convert it to STL if your slicer prefers that.

No file handy?

3MF → USDZ: what you should know

3MF to USDZ moves a model out of the 3D printing world and into augmented reality. 3MF is the modern slicer format — it stores colour, units and multiple parts in a single file — and USDZ is what any iPhone opens with nothing installed.

It's useful for showing a part before printing it: instead of sending screenshots, you send a file the other person sets on their table and inspects from every angle, at real size.

The conversion happens entirely in your browser, with no upload.
