How to 3D Model Custom Stamps in SelfCAD
It is possible to design your own unique superhero-themed stamps for crafts, branding, or collectibles with 3D modeling. In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating custom 3D-printable stamps in SelfCAD using logos, numbers, or images as stamp patterns.
You don’t need advanced 3D design skills to follow along. SelfCAD’s user-friendly tools, including 3D Sketching, Loft, and Image to 3D, make it easy to turn simple designs into detailed stamp-ready models in just a few steps. To begin, start by activating 3D Sketch from the Drawing category:
Select the Circle tool from the tools panel and set the Minimum Step Angle to 5. Draw the circle of the Radius 25:
On the Plane Settings, select the Offset to 20 and draw a circle with the radius 15:
Set the Offset again to 40 and draw a circle of the Radius of 25:
Set the Offset to 50 and draw a circle of a radius of 65. Repeat drawing the last circle with the Offset being 55:
The profiles will be as follows:
Select all the profiles using marquee selection:
Use the Loft Tool from the tools category to convert the profiles to a mesh. Tick the check mark to finalize the object:
Select all the profiles and delete them. The next step is to create the prints. Use the Image to 3D tool and click Select Image to select the pattern of the print:
Select the image in your computer files:
Once you have selected the image, you can then play the settings to achieve the desired pattern grip:
Use the Scale, Rotate and Move tool to position the it on the top surface pattern. Ensure the grip pattern protrudes well:
That is how you can make a nice stamp in SelfCAD. You can do this by applying various image patterns to have stamps as shown below:
When it comes to 3D modeling, there are a lot of tools available on the market, but SelfCAD stands out for its user-friendliness, affordable pricing, and powerful capabilities. SelfCAD is an all-in-one 3D modeling and slicing software that combines powerful design tools with an easy-to-use interface.You can not only use it to create the stamps but anything you can imagine. After 3D modeling, you can use the in-built online slicer of SelfCAD to slice your files and generate the G-code to send to your 3D printer.
Enjoy powerful modeling, rendering, and 3D printing tools without the steep learning curve.
