What is this text about? Purpose or whatever?
I get that it is not from Bambu Lab but I have some questions.
Does Bambu Lab create 3mf files besides things tied to things like tools for their line of printers and calibration models?
What 3mf files would they be signing, and why?
Why am I being told to load geometry data only since it is not a Bambu Lab signed 3mf file?
Is it trying to warn against or prevent malware from being imbedded in unknown 3mf files?
I just recently saw some YouTube malware expert walk through showing how malware had been imbedded in a music file so why this alarm?
It is not an alarm or warning of malware, it just recognized the 3mf was not created by Studio and refused to load any part of the project except the geometry. Basically saying all the settings were ignored.
Situation has improved a bit with v2.0.2 (released today), but you may still receive notifications about settings, etc.

Malware was just one possible reason that I listed.
One doesn’t create models from scratch in any Bambu Lab product as far as I know. studio is a slicing application not a CAD application. That’s why I don’t get the reason for the flag. EVERY model, with the exception of what Bambu Lab engineers create for their purposes (in house) starts life as Not from Bambu Lab. You can edit in a very limited way in Studio but as best I can tell, to adapt/mod virtually any model out there, the first thing one does is reach for their non-Bambu software of choice.
Also, I read Load geometry data only as an advisory statement or recommendation rather than how you are reading it.
No doubt Chinese and English syntax don’t translate well back and forth so is it…
This 3mf is not from Bambu Lab, so Bambu Studio is configured to only load the geometry data.
Or is it…
This 3mf is not from Bambu Lab, so Bambu Lab engineers suggest you Load geometry data only.
I’m a noob as far as creating 3D models but so far it seems like you are unable to build a model from scratch and natively Save As .3MF inside the Bambu Lab ecosystem.
Since I (so far) save models in the same format as I downloaded them, can you download an stl file and “Save As” a 3mf without doing some sort of conversion process?
The cause of the confusing message: Engrish + silly messaging + software version changes causing issues + multiple slicers using 3mf format and having their own extensions.
Basically - 3mf files are standardized, bambu studio should load everything it can within the specs and not complain. If there are extensions in the file left by older/newer bambu studio then the studio version you’re using should do best attempt at loading them, same should be done with extensions from other slicers that have 1:1 parity just different names. And for every other extension user should be informed what is and isn’t loaded.
on a side note:
It’s technically possible to produce something useful solely in the Bambu Slicer using only provided primitives and text tool. While in general it’s counter-productive, there are usecases for that.
