What is the DXF to STL Extruder — 3D Print from a DXF?
You have a DXF — a bracket outline, a logo, a floor plan, a laser-cut template — and want it as a 3D printable model. This converter reads the DXF (lines, arcs, circles, polylines, splines, ellipses and blocks), joins loose segments into closed outlines, treats nested outlines as holes, triangulates each region and extrudes it to the height you set.
Add a base plate to make signs and plaques from separate shapes, change scale or units, mirror the drawing and centre it on the bed. The result is a watertight solid you can download as STL, 3MF or OBJ. The file is processed locally and never uploaded.
