Text to STL Sign Generator

Create multiline raised or engraved text signs with multiple browser-safe typefaces, weight/detail controls, aspect-correct geometry, 3D inspection, topology checks, and binary STL export.

TTF, OTF, WOFF, or WOFF2 · max 5 MB. Use only fonts you are licensed to use.
Why this tool is different

Simple labels, drawer tags, nameplates, and maker signs should not require a heavy CAD application. This generator turns short bold text into an intentionally simple relief mesh suitable for further slicing or scaling.

Requirements and recommendations

Design for printable strokes

  • Keep text short enough to preserve stroke width.
  • Choose a physical model width and conservative relief height.
  • Inspect thin letters and enclosed counters in your slicer.
How OpenFileTools processes it

Local processing, explicit choices.

Text is fit into an aspect-preserving local canvas, cropped with configurable plate padding, converted to a high-detail relief field, checked as a closed mesh, and exported as binary STL.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Can I upload a font?

Yes. TTF, OTF, WOFF, and WOFF2 files can be loaded locally through the browser FontFace API; use only fonts you are licensed to use.

Can I resize the STL later?

Yes, but generating at a sensible physical width helps preserve minimum feature size.
