Open 3W File
A 3W file extension is a pattern created by XYZware, software included in XYZprinting printers such as the Da Vinci Pro.
In principle, the 3W file contains a sliced model of a 3D object in Base64-encoded G-code.
G-Code (also known as Industrial Protocol RS-274) is the most widely used Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programming language.
It is mainly used in computer-aided manufacturing to control machines and/or tools in an automated way and has many variants.
The 3W files are created by XYZware and then transmitted to a 3D printer for printing.
To create 3D objects, a user converts the object into a series of slices that are printed vertically one at a time.
A 3W file saves these slices in formatted G-Code, this variant of G-Code is itself a language used in manufacturing CAD for the control of automated machine tools.
The XYZware program that comes with some 3D printers developed by XYZprinting and allows you to adjust print settings, including speed, print support, and Retraction (print without streaks or smudges when the extruder moves over the print).
