PNG2ObjV3 Released, Convert PNGs to 3D Printable OBJ or SVG Files
After years of quietly evolving in the background, I’m finally sharing a tool I wrote to solve a very specific need, turning pixel artwork and PNGs into physical 3D prints, layered SVGs, or sprite-cut outputs.
The tool started as a simple script to automate my CAD workflow for tributes and charity prints. It’s grown to include:
- Layered, flat, or tower-style
.OBJoutput - Optical illusion
.SVGgeneration - Support for MAPED mount frames
- Sprite sheet slicing
- Material
.MTLgeneration
It’s cross-platform, written in Python, and fully documented with a PDF manual and sample image pack.
🎁 You can download or clone the project here:

This tool is free for personal/non-commercial use under a modified MIT license. If it helps your project, I’d love to see what you make with it.
