This software allows a person to open, edit, create, modify, view, and save 3D STL models. It can also be used to extrude 2D images into 3D objects. You can also insert 3D closed primitives. The new STLX file format supports groups, materials, as wells as colors and generates much smaller files on average (compared to binary STL files). To translate a 2D bitmap image to a 3D surface for CNC milling, we're going to use the Image-2-Surface (updated 03 / 2018) script written by Hans Kellner. The script is very simple. All it does is translate the value (level of lightness or darkness) of a bitmap image to the height of a point on a mesh surface.
