Convert IGES
to 3MF.

Updated 2026-10-19

To convert IGES (.iges / .igs) to 3MF (.3mf), drop the file below and download the result, in the browser with nothing installed. The exact surfaces are triangulated into a 3MF mesh.

ResultTessellated

Edges are sampled first, so chamfers, fillets and holes come through crisp. Default tolerance: 0.02 mm chord deviation, 0.1 rad angle — fine enough to print directly.

Tessellation is one-way — keep the IGES file if you will edit the shape later.

HowThree steps
  1. Drop your .iges file above — up to 200 MB without an account.
  2. 3MF is already selected as the output.
  3. Download the .3mf. Without an account, files are deleted within 24 hours; signed in, they are kept until you delete them.
FormatsWhat you are holding

IGES file (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) (.iges / .igs)

IGES predates STEP and is still requested by older CAM systems and mould and die workflows. It stores exact geometry, but many IGES files are loose trimmed surfaces that never close into a watertight solid. Unless someone asks for IGES by name, STEP is the better choice.

A CAM programmer, toolmaker or legacy system asked for IGES, or you were handed one and need something current.

3D Manufacturing Format file (.3mf)

3MF was designed to replace STL for 3D printing. It records units, colour and material, keeps multiple objects separate, and is compressed. Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, Cura and Windows all read it. The shape is still a triangle mesh.

You are printing and want units, colour and part structure to survive the handover.

Questions5 answered
Is the IGES to 3MF converter free?
Yes. 5 conversions a day with no account and no card. A free account raises the limit and adds 25 credits.
How accurate is the 3MF mesh?
The exact surfaces are triangulated into a 3MF mesh. Edges are sampled first, so chamfers, fillets and holes come through crisp. Default tolerance: 0.02 mm chord deviation, 0.1 rad angle — fine enough to print directly. Tessellation is one-way — keep the IGES file if you will edit the shape later.
How big a file can I convert?
To a mesh format like STL: 300 MB with a free account, 200 MB without one. To STEP, Parasolid or SLDPRT: 140 MB, because rebuilding a solid takes about twice the memory of writing a mesh. Maker and Studio convert up to 830 MB and 380 MB — a large conversion on a paid plan gets the server to itself.
Is it safe to upload my IGES file?
Files travel encrypted and are processed by machine on our own servers — no third parties, no ads or trackers, no AI training.
Is my IGES file deleted after converting?
Without an account, the upload and the result are deleted within 24 hours. With an account, both stay in your files until you delete them; deleted files leave our servers within 24 hours.
Beyond convertingSame file, four workspaces

Keep the part open: fill it with a lattice, check it with FEA, texture a surface, or slice it into cut-ready sheets. These workspaces are in early access — create an account, then apply from inside the app.
