So our account team decided to impress by making a reusable stencil to make logos onto the tops of lattes. I created a prototype quickly making a 3d object from an illustrator file using Blender. I was simply extruding the points from the eps file and scaling a bit the thickness. After, I exported the file to a .obj file. Then I had to convert the obj into a readable format the Ultimaker accepts, and we&#8217;re in business. When using the Ultimaker app, Cura, the user interface visualizes how big in scale the object will be inside the printer. This helps the user have a precise idea how big the object will be. <\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t wing this without mistakes. Reading documentation and some trial and error sessions was the way I learned to demystify this really cool tool.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/rudes.de\/images\/3dprint_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"883\" height=\"1158\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/rudes.de\/images\/3dprint_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"883\" height=\"1158\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before even learning about 3d printing I kinda had an idea how the process would be.
