3D printing has become popular in recent years, and 3D printed keychains are growing in popularity. If you have a vector logo, you can turn it into a 3D printable keychain that you can use to promote your business, show off a company logo or even just as a unique gift for someone special. Here is how to easily turn a vector logo into a 3D printable keychain:
Convert the vector logo into an STL file. To do this, you will need a slicing software, such as Cura, to make the conversion. STL (Stereolithography) files are the standard file type used for 3D printing.
Open the STL file in a CAD software, such as Fusion 360 or Blender. From there, you will need to modify the file to turn it into a keychain design. For example, you can add a keyring part to the bottom of the design or add a ribbon or chain for easily attaching it to a keychain.
Export the file as an .stl or .gcode file. This file type can be printed with a 3D printer.
Print the 3D object. This can be done from home with a 3D printer, or you can outsource the printing to a professional 3D printing service.
Once the 3D object has finished printing, you can sand or polish the surface to make it shine.
Using this process, you can easily turn a vector logo into a 3D printable keychain. For more detailed instructions on each step, please refer to this tutorial: https://all3dp.com/2/3d-print-keychain-vector/.
