What is an FNC file

FNC files mostly belong to Vue by e-on. The FNC filename extension is often associated with functions files created using Vue, a cross-platform 3D modelling tool. The FNC file of a Vue project contains definitions of reusable functions that can be applied to different parts of a 3D scene or multiple 3D scenes. These functions return visual properties that can range from patterns to textures, and turbulence. FNC files' functions can be used to model objects and terrains on a procedural basis, adding fractal/regular patterns. A second file association of the FNC filename extension is the data file of QuickCAM, a wizard-based 2D/3D modeler for creating CAD and CAM graphics. QuickCAM stores the geometry data of 2D and 3D images and paths in Computer Numerical Control (CNC) files. The FNC file of Frogan, a legacy browser used certificates saved as FNC files to initialize and authorize connections to the main Frogans network on end-users devices.

How to open FNC files

You need a suitable software like Vue to open an FNC file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your FNC file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a FNC file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert FNC files:

  1. Vue by e-on
    See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. FNC files are often referred to as Vue 3d images because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
  2. Frogans Player (network certificate) by STG
    Frogans Player is a free, multi-platform program for browsing Frogan websites. The file extension of a certificate of a Frogan site is FNC, which is associated with the MIME type 'application/vnd.frogans.fnc'. When a user installs Frogans Player, the Frogan network is initialized on their devices through those FNC certificates. This file format is classified as Encoded.
  3. QuickCAM (3D CNC model) by Denford
    QuickCAM is a Windows-based software application that offers 2D CAD and CAM packages used to program CNC machines and their tool paths. The data of the CNC machines are stored in FNC files. This file format is classified as CAD.

FNC format details:

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the FNC files looks like this:

FNC is seldom used as a file extension and covers a large number of different file formats. The following file formats are most commonly found in FNC files:

All other FNC files (70%) have no uniform format, such as MAT and INVERTER. These files are often connected to coefficient, millionaire, absorption or large. If you want to find out what your FNC file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.

an fnc function definition is a special file format by e-on and should only be edited and saved with the appropriate software.

How to solve problems with FNC files

  • Associate the FNC file extension with the correct application.
  • Update your software that should actually open function definitions. Because only the current version supports the latest FNC file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the e-on manufacturer website after an available Vue update.
  • To make sure that your FNC file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
  • Click here to open your .FNC file online - secure, fast, and no downloads needed.
