Using the open source software VisualFSM you can convert the collection of images into a 3d cloud of point data - which can then be edited on Meshlab before printing. If you want to import an stl into OpenSCAD:įor a real-world item such as a photograph, an alternative is to use a group of images/photographs taken at a slightly different angle and with varying points of focus.

Open in your favorite 3D printing software and have a go at printing it.

Save as STL for printing: Click Design -> Save as STL (this could take some time depending on how complex your object is).

Import ( file = " \\\\ \\ home \\ My Pictures \\ filename.dxf", convexity = 3 )

Use the import command in the directory you saved it in.

Either save the file into your OpenSCAD directory or move it after you save it.

Then click the "Make selected segments lines" button - see screenshot (if you can not see the buttons click F2.).

Convert it to a path (if it worked you should see a bunch of grey squares).

Get a 2D image and open it in Inkscape (or draw it in Inkscape).
