Convert GLB to 3DM

The GLB file extension, short for GL Transmission Format Binary, is a binary version of the GLTF format used for efficiently transmitting and loading 3D graphics. Introduced in 2015, it encapsulates 3D models, textures, materials, animations, and scenes into a single, compact file, making it ideal for web applications, mobile apps, VR, AR, and gaming. Its self-contained nature ensures faster load times and easier sharing across platforms.

The 3DM file extension, standing for "3D Model", is associated with the openNURBS initiative, which facilitates the exchange of 3D geometry across CAD, CAM, CAE, and computer graphics software. Developed by Robert McNeel & Associates, it serves as the native format for Rhinoceros (Rhino) software. Introduced to address interoperability challenges, 3DM files store precise 3D models using NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) and polygon mesh representations. This format is widely adopted due to its open-source nature, enabling developers to read and write 3DM files without proprietary restrictions, thus promoting seamless data sharing in 3D modeling workflows.
