Some metadata may not survive

Your 3MF file may contain 3MF extensions metadata. PNG has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.

3MFファイルは3Dプリント用の設計データとして広く使われていますが、そのままでは画像として扱えないため、資料作りや共有の場面で不便を感じることがあります。PNGに変換すれば、プレゼン資料への貼り付けはもちろん、メールやチャットツールでもすぐに見せられる形になります。特に試作品の確認や社内承認フローでは、誰もが開けるフォーマットで共有できることが重要です。このページでは、3MFをPNG画像へ変換する手順をわかりやすくご案内します。

  • フィギュアや造形物の試作確認資料として
  • 社内稟議・取引先への提案書への添付用
  • 同人誌やZINEの制作物イメージ共有

日本では3Dプリント造形物をPDFや縦書き文書に組み込む機会も多く、PNG変換の際は透過背景に対応した書き出しを選ぶと、InDesignやIllustratorでの配置がスムーズになります。
