lib3mf is a production-grade C++ library that implements the 3D Manufacturing Format (3MF) standard, providing read, write, validation, and conversion capabilities for 3MF files. It supports the full 3MF specification including mesh objects, beam lattices, textures, materials, colors, slice stacks, volumetric data, implicit modeling via computation node graphs, and encryption (key store, AES-GCM, RSA-OAEP). The library is cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS) and exposes a C++ API with auto-generated bindings for Java, Python, C#, Go, and NodeJS via the Automatic Component Toolkit (ACT). Architecture is layered: platform abstraction (streams, XML readers/writers), OPC (Open Packaging Conventions) ZIP-based package handling, version-specific XML readers/writers (v093, v100, extensions), in-memory model classes, and a public API wrapper. Key entry points are CModelReader_3MF_Native for reading and CModelWriter_3MF for writing. External dependencies include libzip (ZIP), zlib (compression), libressl (encryption), fast_float (float parsing), and cpp-base64. The codebase is well-structured with extensive use of design patterns (factory, decorator, iterator, reader node hierarchy) and includes a comprehensive test suite using Google Test.
