About This Tool
Text to 3D Model creates extruded 3D geometry from text using three.js TextGeometry. Type your text, pick a font, and fine-tune the size, extrusion depth, bevel and an optional base plate. Choose between STL (single-color mesh for 3D printing), 3MF (multicolor for modern slicers) or GLB (materials and colors for Web and AR). Everything runs locally in your browser — no upload required.
Tips
- 13MF preserves separate colors for the text and base; STL is single-color
- 2GLB keeps material colors and works on the web out of the box
- 3Bevel adds rounded edges but increases the triangle count
- 4Use a bold font for sturdier, more printable results
- 5Only Latin characters are supported by the bundled fonts
How to Use

Customize the Geometry
Choose a font, adjust size, extrusion depth, bevel and an optional base. Pick STL, 3MF or GLB as the output format. Colors preview live.
Download Your Model
Download your 3D model as STL, 3MF or GLB — ready for 3D printing, the web or further editing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which output format should I choose?
STL is the most widely compatible single-color mesh for 3D printing. 3MF preserves separate colors for the text and the base, ideal for modern slicers like Bambu Studio and PrusaSlicer. GLB keeps materials and colors for Web, AR and 3D software — drop it into Blender, Three.js or Sketchfab with no conversion.
Can I use Chinese or Japanese characters?
The bundled fonts only include Latin characters. CJK characters cannot be rendered into geometry. For CJK text you would need to supply a matching typeface font.
Are the generated models printable?
Yes. The geometry is watertight manifold when using valid text and reasonable bevel settings. For best results use a bold font, enable the base, and keep the bevel modest.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Text geometry is generated entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
What's the difference between the output formats?
STL is a universal single-color mesh accepted by every slicer. 3MF supports multiple colors and materials with per-part color definitions. GLB is the standard Web 3D format with full material and color support, perfect for online display and AR.
