Convert 3DM files to PLY in seconds. Geometry, UVs and materials are carried over where PLY supports them, and the model lands the right way up.
Drop it on the converter above or click browse. It opens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
PLY is already selected. You can switch to any other output from the menu.
Click Convert and your PLY file is ready in seconds. Download it straight away.
3DM is the native file of Rhino, used widely in industrial, jewellery and architectural design. It stores NURBS surfaces, SubD objects, meshes and block instances.
PLY stores meshes and point clouds, often with per-vertex colour. It is the usual output of 3D scanners and photogrammetry software.
Rhino saves a display mesh for every surface it has shown in shaded view. We use those meshes. If a file was saved with "Save Small", open it in Rhino, switch to shaded view and save it again.
Colours and texture coordinates are carried over when PLY supports them. PLY does not store textures, so only the geometry and colours carries over.
No. 3DM and PLY may use different "up" directions, and we rotate the model so it stands the same way in your software.
