Additive Manufacturing File Format (AMF) is a standard for 3D objects for additive manufacturing (for instance, 3D printers). It is standardized as ISO/ASTM 52915:2016. Unlike many other 3D object formats, it has the ability to store such attributes as color and texture.

Files are often compressed with ZIP, using a double extension .zip.amf.
