Hit Tab for Edit Mode and hit A to select all.In Object M ode select Object>Convert To>Mesh to convert the SVG path to a triangulated mesh.

Open Blender and delete the default cube, light and camera. Import Into Blender And Convert To 3D Stamp Be sure to set background to none for simplicity. If you want to follow the rest of the tutorial without using Inkscape, you can download SVGs from as well. If you already have your image in SVG format this initial step may not be necessary though you may still need to extract backgrounds.

Lets pick an image by Lorc from and download it in black on a transparent background as a PNG.īitmaps like JPG and PNG are unsuitable for converting to 3D meshes. Add base of stamp using boolean modifiers in Blender.However the workflow is reasonably simple, and should be accessible even without experience. This article will be easier to follow if you have some experience with Inkscape, Blender, and 3D printing.
This article will take you through the steps needed to produce a 3D stamp from a 2D image file.
