In fact, there are several ways to convert JPG and PNG files to STL files in order to derive a 3D model from an image. But before we explain these methods, let’s talk about what they’re not : Though it’s true that 3D models can be made from flat pictures, the methods described in this article will not produce complete, detailed 3D models.

Instead, the methods we’ll be discussing are more suited for giving flat 2D designs a three dimensional, yet still more-or-less flat, physical form. So if you’re wondering if you’ll […]
