How to Convert a Grayscale PNG Image into an STL 3D Model: Step by Step Tutorial
Open your PNG Image:
Click the Open... ribbon button in Autoconverter and navigate to your grayscale PNG image within the open file dialog box. Remember, the image should be in black and white, with white representing shape areas and black representing void areas in the final model.
Analyze and Define the 3D Shape:
Hit the Open button to initiate the conversion process. Autoconverter will analyze the image, automatically detecting contours based on the black and white contrast. These contours will define the borders of your 3D shape.
Save the STL Model (Limited Number):
Click the Save As... ribbon button to save the converted model as an STL file. Important note: the evaluation version allows a limited number of saves, so use this step sparingly.
