Raised or engraved
Raised letters stand 1.2 mm proud of a 3 mm plate by default. Engraved letters are cut into the plate instead, for a single-colour print with a crisp look.

Text to STL.
A name, a size, a file that prints.
Ask for a keychain that says a name, a desk name plate or a door sign. Mixos AI sets the letters on a plate sized around them, adds a ring hole or screw holes, and keeps the lettering as its own part so it can print in a second colour.

- Browser workspace
- Manual editing in Studio
Mixos AI is available in this build. Conversational tools require paid access or purchased credits.
MADE IN MIXOS01 / HOW IT WORKS
Words in, lettering out.
Say the text and the size. Letter height, plate size, thickness and holes follow from those two, and every one can be changed by asking.
- 01
Say the words
Give the text, one line or two, and what it is for: a keychain, a name plate or a sign. Name a font if you have one in mind.
- 02
Set the size
Give the length in millimetres, or let Mixos AI use a typical size. It tells you how tall the letters came out and warns when they are too small to print cleanly.
- 03
Print in one or two colours
Download a 3MF and the letters arrive as a separate part, ready for a filament change or an AMS. An STL merges them into one solid.
02 / INSIDE MIXOS
See the scene as you work.
The viewport makes the result visible. Inspect the shape, placement and materials before moving on to the next change.
The details that make lettering print well.
Holes that work
A keychain gets a 4.5 mm hole a split ring passes through, with plastic around it so it does not tear out. A sign gets two countersunk holes for flat-head screws.
Shapes beyond a rectangle
Ask for a heart, a star, a bone or a shield and the text is fitted inside the shape, with the hanging hole placed where the shape has room for it.

Questions about text to STL
Is Mixos AI available now?
Mixos AI is available in this build. Open the workspace with your Mixos account; conversational tools require paid access or unspent purchased credits. The expanded creation workspace is rolling out in preview builds.
Can the letters be a different colour?
Yes. Raised letters are a separate part in the 3MF file, so a slicer can assign them their own filament for a colour change or a multi-material printer.
How small can the text be?
Letters under about 5 mm tall start to blur on a 0.4 mm nozzle. Mixos AI reports the letter height it used and suggests a longer plate or shorter text when they come out small.
Can I use my own font?
Name a font family and Mixos AI uses it when your browser can draw it. Bold, simple fonts print most clearly.
What does it cost?
Making the model uses Mixos AI chat credits. Downloading STL or 3MF files is part of Studio's export, which is included in every paid plan.
What is free, and what requires a paid plan?
Editing in the released Mixos apps is free with a Mixos account. AI generation consumes credits. Production exports require a paid plan or licence; the free plan includes a 512px watermarked render preview. See Pricing for current allowances. Watching the demonstrations on this page does not spend AI credits.
