Here are 2 simple steps to convert your SVG to STL using our fast and free SVG converter tool.
Extension | SVG |
Full Name | Scalable Vector Graphics |
Type | Image |
Mime Type | image/svg+xml |
Format | Text |
Introduced by the W3C organisation in 2001 the SVG file format grew to become the standard web file format for vector based 2D images and is supported by the majority of modern web browsers. SVG files are Xml based text files containing 2D vector elements such as paths, simple shapes, colors and more.
The SVG format itself whilst primarily a vector format can include raster images as well as text. Due to its vector based format SVG files lend themselves very well to website company logos and icons. A compressed format of SVG also exists which uses the extension SVGZ and employs the GZIP compression algorithm.
Extension | STL |
Full Name | Standard Triangle Language |
Type | 3D Model |
Mime Type | application/vnd.ms-pki.stl |
Format | Text |
Opens With | Blender, MeshLab, CAD Assistant, DAZ Studio |
The STL file format has its roots in the 1980's and is the native file format for 3D Systems stereolithography CAD software. The format defines a triangulated mesh with vertices and faces and is a popular format for sharing 3D printable model files.
There were several formats that attempted to extend the STL format namely SolidView and VisCAM whose formats included limited 15-bit color information for each mesh face which is often ignored by most modern 3D software. The STL format can be either Text or Binary, our tools will support both formats.
Our SVG converter will convert your SVG file to a 3D model using the Heightmap process whereby 2D pixels, based on their luminosity, are converted into 3D space to create a full 3D STL model ready for download for further processing in your favourite 3D editing package or for printing on a 3D printer.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your SVG file to upload. Your SVG file will be uploaded to our servers. When the SVG to STL conversion has completed, you can download your STL file straight away.
We aim to process all SVG to STL conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds however this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.
We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development with new features being added every week.
Our tool uses a Heightmap process whereby the STL 3D model is created based on the luminosity of the individual pixels in you SVG image.
Yes, to ensure our tool converts the SVG image quickly and with a reasonable final file size, your tool will resize any image larger than 600x600 pixels.
