STLunits + parts →3MF
A FILE WITH A KNOWN SIZE

One model.
Clear dimensions.

STL coordinates have no unit field. A number like “1” could mean a millimeter or an inch. Choose the original unit for each file; this converter writes the geometry in millimeters and declares that unit in the 3MF.

For example, a cube measuring 1 × 1 × 1 in inch coordinates becomes 25.4 × 25.4 × 25.4 mm. Different source units can be selected for different files.

When you choose several files, they become parts of one model. Their coordinates are scaled to millimeters without centering or moving them. Use this for parts exported from the same design; assign colors or filaments later in your slicer.

BEFORE YOU PRINT

Geometry in.
Geometry out.

Standard STL has no colors, materials or slicer settings to recover. The download is a Core 3MF model, not a configured printer project or G-code. Some slicers ask whether to import it as geometry.

This tool does not repair holes, unite overlapping solids or certify a model for printing. Zero-area triangles, damaged records and unsupported inputs are rejected. Open surfaces are not repaired; inspect the result in your slicer.

Limits: 1–20 files, 20 MiB per file, 100 MiB total source bytes, 200,000 triangles in total and 32 MiB model XML. Larger or more complex files may need desktop software.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you convert.

Do I need to convert STL before using a slicer?

Many slicers open STL directly, so a format conversion is not always necessary. A 3MF is useful when you want to record the units explicitly or keep several parts in one model file.

Why is my model 25.4 times too small?

The original STL may have been drawn in inches and then interpreted as millimeters. Select Inches for that file and confirm the new millimeter dimensions before generating the 3MF.

Will several parts keep their positions?

Yes. Each file’s coordinates are converted to millimeters without a translation. Files exported in the same coordinate system stay aligned. This tool does not automatically space unrelated models apart.

Are my model files uploaded?

No. Parsing, conversion, checking and preview happen in this browser. Files are held in memory for this tab. Coarse successful-output and download counts contain no file names or geometry; feedback is optional. Read the privacy policy and usage-count choices.
