Convert CSM to 3MF

The CSM (Character Studio Marker) file extension is associated with Autodesk's Character Studio, a component of the 3ds Max software. This file format is used to store 3D character position markers, which are essential for animating biped characters in motion capture data. Introduced in the late 1990s, CSM files are ASCII text files that contain raw marker position data generated by motion-capture devices. These files facilitate the accurate alignment and calibration of character models, ensuring realistic animation sequences. Character Studio Marker files have been instrumental in advancing 3D animation and motion capture technology, providing a standardized format for storing and manipulating character motion data.

The 3D Manufacturing Format (3MF) is a file extension used in additive manufacturing, commonly referred to as 3D printing. Developed by the 3MF Consortium, it provides a streamlined and improved format over traditional STL files. Introduced in 2015, the 3MF format supports richer data representation, including color, material, and other properties, ensuring better interoperability and more accurate print results. Its adoption has facilitated enhanced efficiency and precision in the 3D printing industry, making it a preferred choice for professionals in the field.
