Image2stl,is a software that allows the creation of 3D object from a 2D base (jpg or png). Associating the colors to values ​​extrusion, the program detects differences in color level to translate the 2D to 3D. Thus, an image composed of a gradient from black to white gradient will create a volume.This application has been designed by the Association Design The Future Now and developed by Joël Belouet.Currently, image2stl only takes jpg, jpeg or png with a colored background (white and black included - no transparency) preferably in contrast to the subject of the image. Each color represents a brightness value used differently, and therefore translation image2stl a value different extrusion. Thus, an image composed of a gradient going from white to black will create a volume having the shape of a slope.
