What is GCODE?

G-code is the list of moves a 3D printer follows. Converting it rebuilds the printed strands as a mesh, so you can see or reuse a print when the original model is missing.

Full name
G-code toolpath
Type
Printer toolpath
Used in
3D printers, Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, OctoPrint
Strength
Recover a model from a print file.
Limits
The result is the printed strands, not the original smooth model.

What is 3DM?

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.

Full name
Rhinoceros 3D model (openNURBS)
Type
Exact CAD geometry
Used in
Rhino, Grasshopper, KeyShot, Blender (with add-on)
Strength
Rich surface modelling data from Rhino.
Limits
Surfaces are converted using the render meshes Rhino saves in the file.

Good to know

G-code is a list of printer moves, not a model. We rebuild every extruded line as a thin strand, so the result looks like the actual print, layer lines included. It is useful for previewing a print or recovering a lost model, not for editing.

Questions

Can I get my original model back from G-code?

You get the printed shape, built from the extruded strands. Fine details are as accurate as the print itself, but the surface shows the layer lines.

Are materials and textures kept?

Colours and texture coordinates are carried over when 3DM supports them. Texture images are kept for formats that can hold them.

Will my model be upside down?

No. GCODE and 3DM may use different "up" directions, and we rotate the model so it stands the same way in your software.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The conversion runs inside your browser.
