STL vs 3MF vs GLB | The Real Differences

Описание: #3DPrinting #3dprintingtips #3DModeling
If you’ve ever downloaded a 3D model and wondered:

What’s the difference between STL vs 3MF vs GLB?

In this video, we break down the three most common 3D printing file formats and explain:
• What an STL file is
• What a 3MF file is
• What a GLB file is
• The differences between STL and 3MF
• Which file format is best for 3D printing
• Why 3MF is becoming the new standard
• When GLB makes sense (and when it doesn’t)

We’ll also show how each file behaves when imported into:

• Bambu Studio
• PrusaSlicer
• Nomad Sculpt
• Blender

If you’re doing multi-color printing, using an AMS, or sharing files online, this video could save you hours of frustration.

Are you still using STL… or have you switched to 3MF?
