FAQ
How do I 3D print an SVG file?▼
SVG files contain 2D vector paths. To 3D print them, import the SVG into a 3D modeling tool (TinkerCAD, Fusion 360, Blender, OpenSCAD) and extrude the paths to give them depth. Then export as STL for your slicer.
What 3D software supports SVG import?▼
TinkerCAD (free, browser-based), Fusion 360 (free for personal use), Blender (free), OpenSCAD (free), PrusaSlicer (free), and Cura (free) all support SVG import for 3D printing workflows.
What can I 3D print from SVG files?▼
Cookie cutters, nameplates, lithophanes, keychains, ornaments, stencils, signs, logo plates, stamps, jewelry molds, and any design that can be extruded from a 2D profile.
Why convert to SVG before 3D printing?▼
SVG gives you clean, precise vector paths that extrude smoothly into 3D. Raster images (PNG/JPG) need to be traced first, which can produce messy paths. VectoSolve AI produces much cleaner traces than standard auto-trace tools.
What makes a good SVG for 3D printing?▼
Clean, closed paths with no self-intersections. Bold designs with minimum 1-2mm wall thickness after extrusion. Avoid very fine details that may not print well. VectoSolve SVGs are typically well-suited for 3D printing.
Can I convert photos to 3D-printable SVGs?▼
Yes, but photos work best as lithophanes (varying thickness creates a grayscale image when backlit). For standard extrusion, graphic designs, logos, and illustrations produce better results than photographs.
