This model was generated by PrintPal from the image beside it. Spin it and compare the full-color version with the plain STL a single-color printer gets.
Input: rocket.png, 1024 pxFour flat colors on smooth toy shapes: red, cream, blue and yellow each map onto one filament for a multi-color print.

Each example is one AI-generated 1024 px PNG run through PrintPal's full-color image-to-3D at high detail, with no editing afterwards. Mesh checks were run on the raw download with trimesh. The preview is simplified to about 60,000 triangles so it loads fast; your download keeps full detail.
SVG to 3MF: what actually happens
SVG files already separate colors cleanly: every filled shape has an exact fill. That makes SVG to 3MF the most reliable route to a crisp multi-color sign, badge, keychain or coaster, far cleaner than reducing a photo's colors down to a few filaments.
The extruder below groups your SVG's shapes by fill color, extrudes each group, and writes a 3MF in millimetres with one part per color. Open it in Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer and assign a filament to each part. Want a sculpted 3D version of the artwork instead? Use the AI box at the top.

How to convert SVG to 3MF
-
1
Drop your SVG into the extruder
Shapes are grouped by fill color automatically.
-
2
Set width, depth and base
Add a base plate for signs and coasters so the colors sit on one solid backing.
-
3
Download 3MF
One part per color, sized in millimetres. No account needed.
-
4
Assign filaments
In your slicer, give each part its own AMS or MMU slot and print.
SVG extruder
Drop an SVG and get an exact, dimensioned 3MF in seconds. Each fill color becomes its own part, and overlapping shapes are cut so what you see is what prints.

Drag to rotate once it loads.
Tips for a better 3MF
Flatten overlaps first
SVG paints later shapes over earlier ones; a 3MF does not. Use Pathfinder, Divide (Illustrator) or Path, Union per color (Inkscape) so shapes do not overlap.
Match your slot count
One AMS unit holds four spools. Merge near-identical fills so the color count matches what you can load.
Use a base plate
Thin color pieces on their own fall over. A 1.5 to 2 mm base joins them into one sturdy print.
Outline all text
Live text is ignored. Convert it to paths before exporting the SVG.
One model, every format
We exported the same 998,810-triangle generation to each format and measured the files.
| Format | File size | Color | Units | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STL (binary) | 49.9 MB | No | None (slicers assume mm) | Any slicer |
| STL (ASCII) | 303 MB | No | None | Legacy CAD; avoid |
| OBJ + MTL + texture | 84.9 MB | Texture or vertex colors | None | Blender, sculpting |
| GLB (with textures) | 40.5 MB | Yes, PBR textures | Metres | Web, AR, games |
| 3MF (zipped) | 21.0 MB | Yes, per triangle | Millimetres | Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, PrusaSlicer |
| PLY (binary) | 27.3 MB | Vertex colors | None | Scans, point clouds |
Same 998,810-triangle knight exported with trimesh; the GLB is the download as it came from PrintPal. The 3MF holds geometry only; a painted multi-color 3MF adds a little for the color data.
After you download the 3MF
The checklist we use before printing a generated 3MF.
- Open it in Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer. Units travel with the file, so it loads at the right size.
- The colors in the file show up as filaments in the slicer; sync them with your AMS or pick the closest spools you own.
- Keep the prime tower on and check the purge estimate. Fewer colors means less waste and a faster print.
- Using PrusaSlicer or another slicer? Download the vertex-color OBJ from the same export, or print the STL in one color.
- Single-color 3MF only? Convert any STL free with the 3D model converter.
