How to use it

  1. Start from a Quick template (Name Plate, Review Plate, Earrings, QR Plates…) or the blank plate.
  2. Set the plate in the right panel: size, depth, corner radius, shape, colour, bevel, borders.
  3. Add objects from the left rail: Text, Elements (shapes), QR Code, Holes, Lines, Upload (SVG/PNG).
  4. Click an object to select it. Drag to move, use the corner handles to resize and the round handle to rotate. Double-click text to edit it on the canvas.
  5. Choose Raised or Engraved for each object, and its colour and depth.
  6. Press Generate 3D, check the preview, then export 3MF, STL or OBJ + colours.

What you can do

Plate

Rounded rectangle, circle, oval, polygons, star, heart, shield, squircle, your own SVG outline, or a text-shaped cloud. Per-corner radius, rotation, bevels and multiple borders.

Text

40+ fonts and your own uploads, size, depth, letter gap and width/height stretch, with multi-line support.

Raised vs engraved

Raised objects sit on top of the plate. Engraved objects are cut into it (shown with a red dashed outline). Cut shapes punch right through the plate.

Holes & hanging

Add keyring holes and cut-outs from Holes, and place them anywhere on the plate.

Magnets & NFC

Pockets for magnets and NFC stickers, so you can add a fridge magnet or tap-to-open tag.

QR codes

Styled QR codes for links, Wi-Fi and contacts, with an optional logo.

Layers

The Layers tab lists every object so you can reorder, hide, lock or delete it. A badge shows how many there are.

Quick templates

Press Save current design as template to keep a starting point of your own.

Tips

Keep text at least 6 mm tall and 1 mm deep for clean prints.

A banner warns you when an object extends past the plate; it will be clipped when printed.

Object size is in real millimetres — what you see is what prints.
