Modelador 3D STL Texturizer

What is Modelador 3D STL Texturizer?

Modelador 3D STL Texturizer adds a real relief texture to a model you already have, from the same small Brazilian modeling studio behind the Modelador 3D Part Generator. You drop in an STL, OBJ, 3MF or PLY file up to 60 MB and pick one of 38 patterns, such as carbon fiber weave, honeycomb, knurling, leather, wood, brick, scales or a fuzzy-skin grain. You can also use your own grayscale image, a hand drawing or a repeated phrase.

You set depth, cell size, rotation and raised or engraved relief, and choose a projection such as triplanar, cylindrical or flat. The texture can cover the whole part, only the sides or top, or a region you paint with a brush or fill tool, so a fitted surface can stay smooth. It avoids downward overhangs, keeps a flat base, and warns when the depth passes 10% of the smallest dimension. The result is real geometry in a closed mesh, exported as STL or a smaller 3MF. The page says the file is processed in your browser and never uploaded. The interface is in Portuguese.

Downloads are free while the tool is in beta; the maker plans to charge R$1.90 per texture applied at download later. It suits makers who want grip, a tactile finish or hidden layer lines on an existing model without sculpting it.

What you can make

• Textured versions of your own STL, OBJ, 3MF or PLY
• Knurled grips and handles
• Carbon, wood, leather and stone surface finishes
• Relief from your own image, drawing or text
