About This Tool

Designed for multi-material slicing: the text and base are separate parts with assigned colors, making it easy to create two-tone nameplates and badges in Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, and OrcaSlicer.

Tips

  • 1Text and base can be colored independently
  • 2Suitable for filament swap / multi-extruder
  • 3Bold font + base easier to print; built-in fonts only support Latin characters

About Configuration Options

Text Input

Text

DefaultAny3D.cc

The text content to convert into a 3D model. Multi-line text is supported.

Font

DefaultOswald (Display Bold)

The typeface used to generate the 3D text geometry. Different fonts produce different stroke widths and character shapes.

Oswald (Display Bold)Recommended

Condensed display sans with strong strokes, good for titles and 3D printing.

Inter (Modern Sans)

Neutral modern sans for readable body text and UI-like labels.

Show 4 more options
Cinzel (Classic Serif)

Classic serif for premium badges, plaques, and heritage labels.

Roboto Mono (Engineering)

Monospace for dimensions, SKUs, and technical callouts.

Noto Sans SC (CJK)

Sans covering Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean glyphs.

Noto Sans Arabic

Sans covering Arabic script with print-ready stroke weight.

Size & Ratio

Width (X)

Default30

Range5 – 100

The overall width of the text geometry in millimeters.

Height (Y)

Default6

Range2 – 50

The overall height of the text geometry in millimeters.

Depth (Z)

Default3

Range0.5 – 20 · step 0.5

The extrusion depth of the text in millimeters. Controls how far the text extends outward.

Uniform Size

Lock all three dimensions to scale proportionally, preserving the aspect ratio.

Lock Ratio

DefaultOn

Keep the width-to-height ratio fixed when resizing.

OnRecommended
Off

Orientation

Orientation

DefaultUpright

Choose whether the text stands upright or lies flat for 3D printing.

UprightRecommended

Text extends upward from the build plate. Best for nameplates and signs.

Flat

Text geometry lies flat. Useful for inlay designs and flat badges.

Position Offset

Offset X

Default0

Range-50 – 50 · step 0.5

Move the text geometry left or right on the X axis.

Offset Y

Default0

Range-20 – 50 · step 0.5

Move the text geometry up or down on the Y axis.

Offset Z

Default0

Range-20 – 20 · step 0.5

Move the text geometry forward or backward on the Z axis.

Bevel

Bevel Thickness

Default0.5

Range0 – 3 · step 0.1

Controls how much the edges of the text are rounded. Adds a polished look but increases face count.

Bevel Segments

Default3

Range1 – 8

The number of segments used to create the bevel curve. More segments produce smoother bevels at the cost of more geometry.

Base Plate

Base Height

Default2

Range0.5 – 20 · step 0.5

The thickness of the base plate beneath the text. A thicker base provides more stability and keeps letters attached.

Base Padding Width

Default2

Range0 – 20 · step 0.5

Extra horizontal margin around the text on the base plate.

Base Padding Depth

Default2

Range0 – 20 · step 0.5

Extra vertical margin around the text on the base plate.

Base Bevel

DefaultOff

Whether to round the edges of the base plate.

OffRecommended
On

Base Bevel Radius

Default0.3

Range0.1 – 3 · step 0.1

The radius of the base plate corner rounding.

Base Bevel Segments

Default2

Range1 – 8

The number of segments for the base plate bevel curve.

Colors

Text Color

Default#3b82f6

The color of the extruded text geometry. For 3MF and GLB, this color is preserved in the output file.

Base Color

Default#9ca3af

The color of the base plate. Only preserved in 3MF and GLB output formats.

Description:
3MF is a modern 3D printing format from the 3MF Consortium, based on XML and packaged as a ZIP container. It preserves mesh data and supports per-part color, material, texture, and print properties. It is recommended for multi-color and multi-material printing. Major slicers (Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer) have native support. Compared to STL, 3MF carries richer information but is more complex. Some older slicers and printers may not recognize it. When converting from other formats, color and material mapping depend on source data. For simple single-color printing, STL remains sufficient. For multi-color, multi-material, or print parameter transfer, choose 3MF.

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

About this tool

Q

What are the advantages over text-to-STL?

A

3MF preserves color and part information for two-color printing; STL only has single-color geometry.

Q

How is two-color printing achieved?

A

The text and base are separate parts; the slicer maps them to different filaments or extruders for multi-material or filament-swap printing.

Q

Which software can read 3MF colors?

A

Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, Cura, etc. typically support; you can also preview with the in-site 3MF viewer.

Q

Can I customize the font style, size, or depth of the text?

A

Yes, you can choose from a selection of fonts and adjust the text size, height, and depth using the provided controls. Simply enter your text, select your preferred font, and tweak the parameters to achieve the desired look before generating the 3MF model.

Q

Can I give each letter its own color?

A

No. All letters share one color and the base has its own, producing a two-color model. For per-letter colors, generate each letter as a separate model and combine them in your slicer.

Q

Can I still print the 3MF on a single-color printer?

A

Yes. The letter and base colors are stored as metadata; a single-color slicer prints the model in one filament and ignores the color assignments, and the file stays ready for multi-color printing later.

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, so 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.
