About FBM files

The .fbm extension primarily identifies a Ship Hull Design project created by DELFTship or its open-source predecessor, FREE!ship. These files store complex 3D subdivision surfaces, hydrostatic calculations, and resistance data specific to marine architecture. A common limitation for users is the lack of interoperability; a raw .fbm file cannot be opened in standard CAD tools like AutoCAD or Blender without prior conversion. Furthermore, older FREE!ship files may experience data loss when opened in newer versions of DELFTship due to proprietary format shifts.

In a completely different context (approx. 12% of cases), .fbm refers to an FBX Embedded Media directory. When 3D software (like Unity or Maya) imports an FBX file with embedded textures, it often extracts the images (usually PNG or JPG) into a folder suffixing the filename with .fbm. Users often mistake this folder for a single file.

Conversion Best Practices:

• For 3D Printing: Convert DELFTship models to STL to ensure manifold geometry compatible with slicers.
• For General CAD: Convert hull data to DXF or IGES to import curves into engineering software.
• For Visualization: Use OBJ for rendering ship models in standard 3D suites.
• For FBX Media: If you have an .fbm folder, simply open it to access standard image files inside; no conversion is required.
