What is the STL to 2D Drawing — Top, Front & Side Views?
Sometimes you only need the outline of a 3D part: a template for a laser-cut base, a cut-out for a fixture, or a quick three-view for documentation. This tool projects the model onto the top, front and right planes, traces the silhouette (holes included) and lays the three views out in third-angle projection with the overall width, depth and height.
The outline is accurate to one pixel of the chosen resolution, so a 100 mm part at 1000 px is within ±0.1 mm. Export the full sheet or any of the six views as DXF or SVG. Everything runs in your browser and the file is never uploaded.
