How it works

  1. Type your text, on one or several lines, and pick one of the 12 stencil fonts.
  2. Set the letter height, the margin and thickness of the plate and optional hanging holes. Loose pieces are detected and bridged automatically while you watch the 3D preview.
  3. Sign in with Google and download an STL for your 3D printer or an SVG for Cricut, Silhouette or a laser cutter. Your first 2 downloads are free.

Frequently asked questions

Why do stencil letters have gaps?

Letters such as O, A, B or 8 have inner parts that would fall out when you cut them from a sheet. Stencil fonts leave small bridges that hold those parts in place. This tool also checks the result and adds a bridge to any loose piece it finds.

Which thickness and material should I print?

Between 0.8 and 1.6 mm in PLA or PETG works well for paint and spray. For a flexible stencil that follows curved surfaces, print it in TPU or in PETG at 0.6 to 0.8 mm. Print it flat with the plate on the bed.

Can I cut it with a Cricut, Silhouette or laser?

Yes. The SVG contains the outline of the plate and the letters at real size in millimetres, ready for Cricut Design Space, Silhouette Studio, LightBurn or Inkscape.

Can I use the fonts for commercial work?

Yes. The 12 fonts are published under the SIL Open Font License, so you can sell the stencils and the items you paint with them.

Is it free?

You can use every option and see the 3D result without an account. To download you sign in with Google. Your first 2 downloads are free and shared with the 3D text, QR code and lithophane tools. After that, Text3D PRO unlocks unlimited downloads on every tool with a single payment.
