Application for converting images to STL (3D-model for printing)

The program window is as follows:

• Open Image(s) Opens one or more images
• Auto Crop Automatic cropping of opened files if there are transparent areas

• Density Pixel size on a real model in mm
• Max/Min Height Max/Min thickness of the model in mm
• Mask Mode: Transparency Color Choose a base color that will not be used when creating the model (mask)
• Height Mode: Black White During image processing, a copy of it in grayscale will be created. If the "Black" mode is selected, the darker the pixel, the greater the thickness of the final model in the place corresponding to this pixel, and vice versa, if the "White" mode is selected

• Choose a place to save files.
• STL Format: ASCII / BIN Choose a method to save the destination file. ASCII is a plain text file. BIN is a binary format. It is recommended to use a binary format, as large models in text format can have a very large size

• Execete Begin the process of converting
• This shows the progress of execution of conversion

• The color palette of the selected file is displayed here. The "amount" field shows the number of pixels of the corresponding color in the "color" field

All open files are displayed here. Access to them is carried out on tabs with file names

In the end, a stl file with a 3D model will be created, which can be viewed using the appropriate application (for example, the 3DView plugin for Google Chrome browser):
