- Description
- 3mf is an additive manufacturing XML-based file format. 3mf files hold data on color, material, and all other details that can't be stored in the STL format.
- Based on HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding), the HEIF format is an image file container with one or multiple images and is the default image format for Apple Live Photos. It replaced the JPEG format as it's smaller in size and has lossless compression ensuring high-quality photos.
