vox-converter

NW.js application to convert Voxel-based models into printable STL format models.

Overview

This tool was written to facilitate creating 3D-printed miniatures from Voxel models. I needed something to easily convert MagicaVoxel format models into STL for a series of 3D-printed tabletop miniatures I was working on.

Currently the tool only supports MagicaVoxel files, however, other model formats should be "fairly simple" to include. As long as the import class generates a VoxModel object.

Features

  • Import models from MagicaVoxel
  • Export models to binary and ascii STL
  • View printed mass based on voxel size and selected material (currently ABS and PLA)

Known Issues

  • The generated binary STL file seems to not play nice with Shapeways. At least when created on a Linux box.

Build Requirements

  • NW.js version 0.12.3 or greater
