What is X3G file?
The X3G file extension is a MakerBot document, created with MakerWare. This file can be opened with a program like OpenOffice or Microsoft Office. X3G files can be used to create a single 3D object from a 3D CAD file. They are also used to save the object for future use. The X3G format was developed by MakerBot in 2013, and is an open standard for creating 3D objects from 2D CAD files using software such as MakerWare and Blender. The X3G format uses the STL file type as its root directory and stores all data in STL format, which can be exported as OBJ or other formats.
