Model type

A relief raises the bright parts of the picture above a base plate: terrain, embossed logos, signs. A lithophane is a thin plate that is thicker where the picture is dark, so the photo appears when light shines through it. Print it in white filament.

Model size (longest side)

Height

Relief: how far the brightest parts rise above the base plate. Lithophane: the thickest point of the plate (the thinnest is 0.8 mm). Auto uses 5 mm for a relief and 3 mm for a lithophane.

Mesh detail

More detail keeps finer features of the picture, but the file gets bigger and slower to slice.

Swaps high and low, for example to raise a dark logo on a white background.

Your file is processed instantly and deleted as soon as you download it.

Understanding JPG and 3MF file formats

JPG (or JPEG) is a widely used raster image format known for its efficient compression and compatibility with digital cameras, smartphones, and web platforms. It is ideal for storing and sharing photographs and complex images.

3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) is a modern file format designed for 3D printing. It stores 3D model data, including geometry, color, and material information, in a compact, extensible XML-based structure. 3MF is supported by many 3D modeling and printing applications.

How to convert JPG to 3MF

Converting a JPG image to a 3MF 3D model is not a direct process, as JPG is a 2D image format and 3MF is a 3D model format. The conversion typically involves two main steps:

  1. Convert JPG to a 3D model: Use software to create a 3D object from the 2D image, often by generating a height map or extruding the image.
  2. Export the 3D model as 3MF: Save or export the generated 3D model in the 3MF format.

Recommended software for JPG to 3MF conversion

Microsoft 3D Builder is a user-friendly tool for Windows that can convert JPG images into 3D models and export them as 3MF files. Here’s how to use it:

  1. Open 3D Builder.
  2. Go to Insert → Add → Load Image and select your JPG file.
  3. Adjust the height map or extrusion settings as needed to create your 3D model.
  4. Once satisfied, go to File → Save As and choose 3MF as the output format.

Other alternatives include Paint 3D (Windows), Blender (with plugins), and online converters like Selva3D for creating 3D models from images, though you may need to export to STL first and then convert STL to 3MF using a tool like Microsoft 3D Builder or Ultimaker Cura.

Tips for best results

  • Use high-contrast JPG images for clearer 3D model generation.
  • Refine the 3D model in the software before exporting to 3MF.
  • Check the 3MF file in a 3D viewer or slicer before 3D printing.
