VRML Files

VRML is a 3D file format which includes color and texture information. VRML provides the ability to apply different colors and textures to a 3D print while designing in a CAD program. No further color assignment is needed in GrabCAD Print.

When you create a VRML file in most CAD programs, two files are created: a wrl file, containing the 3D print's geometric information, including texture, and a picture file (bmp, png, jpg, or tiff), containing the 3D print's color information. Before placing a VRML file on the build tray, make sure that the VRML file and its corresponding picture file are in the same folder.
