BLEND to 3DM: how to convert Blender files
FurniMesh can't open .blend files, but Blender can export GLB, which you can convert to 3DM right here. Here's the quickest route.
Quick answer: FurniMesh can't open .blend files and Blender has no built-in 3DM export, so it takes two steps: export GLB from Blender (File → Export → glTF 2.0 (.glb/.gltf), then choose glTF Binary (.glb)), then convert the GLB to 3DM with the converter on this page — free in your browser, with no sign-up. Blender is free, so this route costs nothing.
Or skip the conversion entirely — browse the free 3D furniture library.

How to convert BLEND to 3DM
- Open the .blend file in Blender (free from blender.org).
- Select File → Export → glTF 2.0 (.glb/.gltf) and choose glTF Binary (.glb). This saves a GLB file.
- Upload the GLB file to the GLB to 3DM converter on this page and download the 3DM (free in your browser, with no sign-up).

About BLEND to 3DM
FurniMesh writes BLEND files (from GLB, OBJ, FBX, STL and more files, or from a photo) but can't read them: opening a .blend file needs Blender. Blender has no built-in 3DM export, so export GLB there and convert it to 3DM on this page.
