Using BumpMesh to add texture to your 3D prints

What Is BumpMesh?

BumpMesh. com is a webbased tool that turns most image files into 3D mesh geometry that’s applied to the surface of your design.

Step by step instructions can be followed in this video.

How It Works (Basic Steps)

1. Create or choose an image
   Light areas become raised, dark areas become recessed.

2. Upload the image to BumpMesh
   The site generates a 3D preview from the image.

3. Adjust depth and detail settings
   Control how strong and detailed the surface relief appears.

4. Export the mesh
   Download the results as a .stl or .3mf format

Why Use BumpMesh?

BumpMesh makes it easy to:

• Add real surface detail quickly

• Convert 2D patterns into 3D forms

• Save time compared to manual modelling

Overall, BumpMesh is a simple way to transform images into tangible 3D surfaces with minimal setup.
