Obloid turns sketches, text prompts and photos into 3D printable models, then gives you the tools to customize, fix and cut them for your printer. Export STL, 3MF, OBJ or GLB, ready for your slicer. AI TOOLS • Sketch to 3D: draw a doodle on the canvas and get a colored 3D model back. • AI Model Generator: describe a figure, animal or prop, or attach a reference image. Sculpted mode makes characters and figures. Parametric mode makes exact parts with real sizes. • CAD Agent: describe a part, then refine it message by message. • AI Part Splitter: split a model into separate parts you can print one by one. PRINTABLE GENERATORS Pick a maker, adjust it with sliders and watch it update in 3D. No AI credits needed. • Keychains and pet tags • Nameplates and 3D text • Photo bookmarks and photo puzzles • Hinged boxes with dividers • 3D QR codes and cookie cutters • Phone stands, desk clamps, hanging planters and spinning tops UTILITIES • STL Cutter: too big for your print bed? Draw a seam, add connectors and export the parts. • STL Repair: fix non-manifold meshes before you slice. • Make Mesh Printable: rebuild broken meshes into a closed STL. • Color 3MF Splitter: split a painted multi-color 3MF into separate color parts. • 3D Print Timelapse: turn sliced G-code into a layer-by-layer build video. • Converters: turn PLY files, 3D Gaussian splats and point clouds into printable STL. EXPORT Export STL, 3MF, OBJ or GLB. Multi-color models export as a 3MF with filament slots assigned, or as one STL per color.
