About This Tool
The text-to-3mf tool in the text-to-model namespace is designed for multi-material 3D printing, automatically separating text and base into distinct parts with assigned colors. This makes it ideal for creating two-tone nameplates, badges, and signage with clean color transitions. The output file is compatible with major slicers like Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, and OrcaSlicer, which interpret the separate parts for seamless multi-material printing.
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
Font
DefaultHelvetiker Regular
The typeface used to generate the 3D text geometry. Different fonts produce different stroke widths and character shapes.
Helvetiker RegularRecommended
Clean sans-serif typeface, medium weight. Good all-purpose choice.
Helvetiker Bold
Bold sans-serif for sturdier, more printable strokes.
Gentilis Regular
Serif typeface, medium weight. Elegant look for badges and signs.
Gentilis Bold
Bold serif for a heavier, more readable result.
Optimer Regular
Geometric sans-serif with modern proportions.
Optimer Bold
Bold geometric sans-serif for maximum stroke strength.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
