What is Nexprint Text & Image to 3D?

Nexprint Text & Image to 3D is a free browser tool from ELEGOO that turns a photo or a short text description into a 3D model you can export as a print-ready 3MF. It sits in the Maker Workshop on Nexprint, ELEGOO's model platform, and launched in September 2026. You upload a PNG or JPG or type up to 1,000 characters, pick Tripo v3.1 or v3.0 and a precision level between 20,000 and 1,000,000 polygons, and the mesh appears in a browser workspace. A fixed seed option lets you repeat a result.

The useful part comes after generation. You can scale and rotate the model, flatten its bottom, check it against your printer's build volume and then choose an export: a plain white 3MF for single-color printing, a multicolor 3MF that keeps more of the colors, or one reduced to four print colors that you can adjust group by group. The 3MF downloads or opens straight in ELEGOO Slicer, while the textured GLB is only a color preview.

Generation runs on credits tied to your Nexprint account. A first-use claim gives 150, an image run costs 5 and a text run 4, and you get more by redeeming Nexprint Points earned on the platform. It suits ELEGOO owners and anyone with a multi-color printer who wants figurines or decor from a photo or an idea.
