3DM to 3DS Converter
Convert 3DM to 3DS directly in your browser, then inspect and download the result. Imports Rhino mesh objects and saved render meshes. NURBS without cached meshes may not appear; export or save with render meshes in Rhino first. This is not a NURBS-to-CAD conversion. Geometry-only legacy 3DS export. Large meshes are split to respect 16-bit limits. Materials, textures, rigs and animation are not exported.

Conversion quality
CAD and mesh formats describe geometry differently. This workflow may tessellate CAD or create faceted geometry; it does not restore feature history, constraints or assembly intelligence.

What is preserved when converting 3DM to 3DS?
Imports Rhino mesh objects and saved render meshes. NURBS without cached meshes may not appear; export or save with render meshes in Rhino first. This is not a NURBS-to-CAD conversion. Geometry-only legacy 3DS export. Large meshes are split to respect 16-bit limits. Materials, textures, rigs and animation are not exported.
When is 3DS the right output format?
Choose this output when you need a portable scene for real-time viewing or downstream scene tools. Review materials, texture links, animation and hierarchy after export.
What should I check after converting 3DM to 3DS?
CAD and mesh formats describe geometry differently. This workflow may tessellate CAD or create faceted geometry; it does not restore feature history, constraints or assembly intelligence. Open the downloaded file in the application you plan to use. Check scale, orientation, mesh completeness and the format-specific limits described above before printing, manufacturing or production use.
Where is my model processed?
Available converters process files in your browser. Saving to the workspace stores a GLB copy in this browser's local database; clearing site data removes it.
