What is Vecto3d?
Vecto3d turns an SVG logo or icon into a 3D object in the browser. You drop, paste or pick an SVG, or start from one of the built-in examples, and the editor extrudes it with a live 3D preview. The geometry settings are depth and an optional bevel; the rest of the panel is about the look on screen, with material presets from matte plastic to polished metal and frosted glass, lighting environments, a background color and effects such as bloom and grain.
Export offers STL for 3D printing and GLB or GLTF as 3D models, plus a PNG still, an MP4 video or a GIF loop of the model turning. The STL from a simple star SVG was a clean closed mesh, but it came out standing on edge, so plan to lay it flat in the slicer. The tool is built for renders first: there is no size in millimeters, base or other print setting, and the page asks phone visitors to switch to a desktop browser.
It is free, needs no account and files stay in your browser. The code is open source under the MIT license, which covers the software and says nothing about prints. The project has about 1,500 stars on GitHub. It suits designers and makers who want a quick extruded logo for a print or a product render.
