Convert a file to EBM

To convert other file formats to the "3D Visualization File" file type, you need software like CADMATIC eBrowser or a similar tool.

About EBM files

An .ebm file usually falls into one of three distinct categories, creating significant confusion for users trying to open one. Most commonly in professional settings, it is a CADMATIC eBrowser Model. These are highly compressed, published 3D models used to review complex engineering projects (like ships or industrial plants) without requiring the massive original CAD source files. The primary disadvantage is that this format is proprietary to CADMATIC; it is designed for "view-only" navigation in the eBrowser or eGo apps and cannot be directly imported into standard 3D software like Blender or Autodesk AutoCAD.

In the gaming world, .ebm files act as proprietary assets. In Cabal Online (by ESTsoft), they function as 3D models or encrypted texture containers. In Ragnarok Online, they store visual effects. These binary blobs are not standard image files and will fail to open in standard viewers.

Finally, legacy IT environments use .ebm as EXTRA! Basic Macro files - scripts used by Attachmate terminal emulators to automate mainframe interactions.

Best Conversion Targets:

For CAD/Engineering: If you need to edit the geometry, the file must be exported from the original CADMATIC environment to DWG, IFC, or OBJ. Direct conversion of a published .ebm is often restricted to protect IP.
For Macros: Since these are text-based scripts, convert them to TXT or open them directly in Notepad++ to view the code.
For Game Assets: Modders often seek to convert texture data to PNG or DDS using specialized community extractors.

The EBM Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our EBM converter.
