Hand-Draw to STL

SixView 3D turns closed 2D profiles into STL models for 3D printing. Draw with a mouse or stylus, or trace a reference image.

Make your first model

1. In 2D Drawing, choose Rectangle and draw a profile. Use the grid controls to set the size in millimeters.
2. Open Extrusion, click Select profiles to extrude, and tap inside the rectangle.
3. Set the depth and click Extrude. The default depth is 5 mm.
4. Check the 3D preview, then choose Export STL and Download STL. Open the file in your slicer and check the scale in millimeters.

Draw on a paired tablet

Open 2D Drawing on the PC and scan the QR code on your tablet. Keep the PC editor open while drawing. The QR code and its link grant access to the shared session, so share them only with people you want to collaborate with.

Trace a reference image

Load an image and select Contrast Lines from Background. Use a rectangle or lasso around the shapes you want to trace and leave a small margin. Adjust the contrast threshold if the trace misses details.
