3MF Decal Tool

Like sticking a real label — add logos, images or text to any 3MF model. Auto-wraps curves, trims sharp corners and punches holes at openings, exports as independent layers in GLB. Fully browser-local, no upload.

About This Tool

Upload a 3MF model, click the surface to place image or text decals, then drag along the surface to move, scale and rotate. Unlike full-model AI retexturing or flat image paste, decals naturally hug curved surfaces and auto-trim at sharp edges and corners instead of stretching through and clipping. When a decal crosses mesh holes, openings or unreachable back sides, those regions are auto-punched — no floating or penetrating triangles. On export, each decal is saved as a separate mesh layer in the GLB without modifying your original textures — you can still select, move or delete them individually in Blender and other apps.

Tips

  • 1Click to place; drag along the surface to move, including across to another side
  • 2Curved and spherical surfaces wrap naturally without flattening
  • 3Sharp edges and corners are auto-trimmed — no penetrating to the back side
  • 4Auto hole punch at mesh holes, openings or back sides — no floating geometry
  • 5Upload images (transparent PNG recommended) and text with custom size and color
  • 6Exports as independent mesh layers — does not overwrite or modify original textures
  • 7Supports 3MF input, GLB output; fully browser-local processing

Format Information

Input format

Extension:
3mf
Full Name:
3D Manufacturing Format
Type:
3D Model
Format:
3MF
Open With:
Windows 3D Viewer3MF Viewer OnlineBlender3D Model Viewer
Description:
3MF is a modern 3D print format supporting color, materials, and print properties in a compressed package. Ideal for multi-color and multi-material prints.

Notes:

  • Some older slicers and printers may not support 3MF
  • More complex than STL but carries richer information

Supported Features:

  • Per-part and per-vertex color support
  • Material and texture preservation
  • XML-based with ZIP compression
  • Native support in Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer

Output format

Extension:
glb
Full Name:
GL Transmission Format Binary (Compressed)
Type:
3D Model
Format:
Binary (glTF 2.0) with Draco/Texture Compression
Description:
The compressed GLB output uses Draco geometry compression and/or texture optimization to significantly reduce file size while maintaining visual quality.

Notes:

  • Draco-encoded models require a Draco decoder to render
  • File size can be reduced by 50-90% depending on settings

Supported Features:

  • Draco geometry compression (up to 90% reduction)
  • WebP/JPEG texture format conversion
  • Mesh simplification with configurable strength
  • Original PBR materials and scene hierarchy preserved

Frequently Asked Questions

About this tool

Q

Is this the same as model "reskin / AI texturing"?

A

No. This tool places logos, images or text locally on the model — it does not replace or repaint the entire material. Great for labeling, signing and product mockups.

Q

How is this different from Text to STL?

A

Text to STL generates new 3D text geometry from scratch for printing. This tool places logos, images or text onto an existing model's surface and exports GLB — ideal when you already have a model and want to label or brand it.

Q

Can I add a logo to a 3MF file?

A

Yes. Upload your 3MF model, place decals, then export GLB. Use GLB to STL Converter if you need an STL for 3D printing.

Q

Can decals wrap curved surfaces?

A

Yes. Decals use Shrinkwrap surface wrapping to hug curved and spherical surfaces naturally, like a real sticker.

Q

What happens at sharp corners or edges?

A

They are auto-trimmed at corners and won't stretch across — like a real sticker can't reach the inside of a 90° corner.

Q

Do decals auto-punch holes?

A

Yes. When a decal crosses mesh holes, openings or unreachable back sides, those regions are auto-punched and trimmed — no floating or penetrating triangles, with clean natural edges.

Q

Will the pattern spin wildly when dragged to the other side?

A

No. Orientation stays continuous when moving across faces — logos won't suddenly flip upside down.

Q

Are decals painted into the model's original texture?

A

No. Each decal is a separate textured mesh, apart from the original material. Original textures are fully preserved — hide or delete individually in Blender and other apps.

Q

Can I add text?

A

Yes. Switch to the Text tab, enter content and adjust size and color, then click the model surface to place.

Q

Does rotation snap to angles?

A

Yes. Dragging the ring snaps to 90° increments by default. Hold Shift while dragging to disable snapping and rotate freely.

Q

What input and output formats are supported?

A

This page accepts 3MF models. Output is always GLB, open in any standard 3D viewer or editor.

Q

Is my data safe?

A

Yes. All processing is local in the browser — files are never uploaded to any server.

General questions

Q

Is Any3D completely free?

A

Yes, Any3D's core features are free to use forever. We provide format conversion, model optimization, and online preview at no cost, with no registration required.

Q

Are my files uploaded to your servers?

A

No. Files you select are processed only in your browser on this device—they never leave your device and are never sent to our servers. We don't store any user files; after processing, related data in browser memory is released.

Q

Do I need to install software?

A

No installation required. Any3D is entirely browser-based—just open the webpage to use all features. It works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and other major operating systems.

Q

Is there a file size limit?

A

The processing capacity depends on your device performance and the model's vertex count and texture complexity, rather than file size alone. We impose no file size limit, but when a model exceeds what your device can handle, the page may lag or even crash.
