SVG to STL

From vector to part

An SVG is a vector drawing: lines and curves that stay sharp at any size. It's the usual format for logos, icons and cutting designs. Here you turn it into a silhouette with thickness to print: signs, wall logos, magnets, ornaments or pieces to glue on.

The tool draws your SVG at high resolution on a transparent background and extracts the outline, so the edges come out clean even if the design is small.

Which SVG works best

Those with filled shapes: flat logos, lettering, icons. If your SVG is only lines (outlines without fill), it works too, but each line keeps the thickness it was drawn with: if it's too thin, raise the smoothing or make the part bigger.

If the logo has parts that don't touch (separate letters, dots), turn on "Join everything with a plate underneath" so it comes out as one piece.

It works with PNG too

If you don't have the SVG, upload a PNG with a transparent background: it's the same as PNG to STL.

Tips

• Before exporting the SVG, convert text to outlines (curves): that way it doesn't depend on the browser having the font.
• If your SVG has white parts that should be holes (the eyes of a face, the inside of a letter), lower the threshold: white stops counting as part of the shape.
• If your design has colors, the silhouette merges everything that isn't background; to separate colors, export one SVG per color.
• Thickness of 3 to 5 mm for wall or desk pieces; 2 mm for ornaments or magnets.
