How long does it take to convert my SVG to STL?
When the SVG to STL conversion has completed, you can download your STL file straight away. We also have another version of this tool aimed at extruding images to color 3D models, this is only available to 3D file formats that support color such as 3MF.įirst click the "Upload." button, select your SVG file to upload. This mode is ideal for simple images such as logos and other simple shapes such as coins (see our Pokécoin example in the library tab). The height of the extruded shape in the final STL file is again based on the pixel luminosity. In Extrude mode our SVG tool behaves in a similar way to Standard mode except the tool attempts to find simple shapes in your image and it performs an Extrude operation on any shape found. This mode is ideal for the conversion of detailed heightmap images into 3D STL models. When this option is selected a white pixel will have a height of 0mm and a black pixel will have the height you have specified.
the tool has a Invert Output option if you wish to reverse the model height calculations. A black pixel in your SVG will have a height of 0mm and not be included in the final 3D generated model, however a white pixel will have a height that you specify once your image is uploaded. In Standard mode our tool examines your 2D SVG vector file and based on the luminosity of each pixel, will create a corresponding "3D" pixel where the height of the pixel is determined by the pixel luminosity.
