Sign styles · 49 features

Sign styles — pick the structure that matches the job

Each style is a different physical structure: front-lit signs, neon, light boxes, desk pieces, everyday objects and gifts, ISO-thread nuts and bolts, involute gears that truly mesh, and letters that hug a column or curved wall. Choose one and carry on adjusting its parameters.

Front-lit with sloped back ledge

Builds front-lit letters with a back plate, walls, an angle-adjustable sloped ledge and an acrylic face.

Open this style in the software →

Front-lit full 3D — front and back caps fit inside

Fully 3D printed with a solid face, hollow walls and a separate U-shaped back cap that seats inside.

Open this style in the software →

Infinity LED letters

Front and back mirrors reflect the light into a deep tunnel, with the LED locking ledge built into the same piece.

Open this style in the software →

Multi-color front lightbox

Creates a flat multi-colour lightbox face from SVG or multi-line text, with a colour chosen per layer, plus raised art with a 45° chamfer, rounded or neon-dome edge set per colour.

Open this style in the software →

Ornate pattern letters

Two-colour, two-layer letters with 35 ready-made patterns, your own uploaded pattern, and a raised or cut-through finish.

Open this style in the software →

3D gears

An involute gear generator whose teeth truly mesh — spur, helical and herringbone gears, reduction pairs, rack and pinion, internal ring gears, planetary sets, GT2, HTD, MXL and XL timing pulleys, and ANSI and ISO chain sprockets. Center distance and tooth counts are calculated for you, with STL and 3MF export for 3D printing and DXF and SVG for laser cutting.

Open this style in the software →

Curved surface letters for columns and curved walls

Make 3D sign letters whose backs follow a round or oval column, a tank, a cylindrical bottle or a curved wall traced from your own line, so they sit flush with no gaps. Mount them outside or inside the curve, with numbered STL and 3MF pieces, DXF and SVG cut sheets and a full-size installation template (Beta).

Open this style in the software →

Dual-View Ambigram (Beta)

One printed solid that reads as two different words from two viewing angles 90° apart. Put the second view to the side (turn left–right; both words need the same number of letters) or above (one long row read from the front, then tipped up to read the other word — here the words need not be the same length). Type 2–8 characters from A–Z and 0–9 and the app intersects two perpendicular letter prisms into a single solid, so both silhouettes match the real letterforms including the counters in A, B, O and R. Exports STL and 3MF for 3D printing.

Screw-Cap Bottles & Jars

Hollow bottles and jars with a screw cap that really closes — round, square, polygon or oval. The threads are designed to print without supports, with a seal ring or an O-ring groove against spills. Enter the capacity you want and the size is calculated for you, then export STL and 3MF with the body and the cap as separate parts.

Open this style in the software →

Bottle Light Box

A standing light-up sign shaped like a bottle — long-neck, square, wine bottle, bulging jar, or your own drawn outline. It comes with a removable base, an LED core and a screw cap, and anything taller than your printer is split with sleeve joints. LED length, wattage and adapter size are calculated for you, with STL and 3MF exported part by part.

Open this style in the software →

Chain

Print-in-place chains that move straight off the printer with no assembly — octagon, round or curb links, or a real roller chain that meshes with sprockets. Set the length in centimetres and finish the ends as a ring, a hook or a closed loop. Chains longer than the bed are folded in a zigzag or split into segments automatically, then exported as STL and 3MF.

Open this style in the software →

Sign bracket

3D-printed sign brackets — wall arms, ceiling hangers, shelf clamp rails and desk stands. Bars can be round, square, rounded or octagonal, or vintage scrollwork. Mount them with a screw plate (straight or countersunk holes) or with double-sided tape, and anything longer than the bed is split with joints automatically. Exports STL and 3MF already in print orientation.

Open this style in the software →

Hooks

3D-printed hooks — S-hooks whose two loops can differ in size, J and L wall hooks with screw holes (straight, countersunk or tape), and a carabiner with a print-in-place spring gate. Bars can be round, square or hex, and you can lay out many hooks in a single print. Exports STL and 3MF.

Open this style in the software →

Tube end caps

End caps for steel tube — insert plugs that go inside the tube, with fins and flex slots for a firm fit, or slip-over caps that cover the end. Round, square and rectangular tube are supported, and you can pick a standard steel size straight away. Choose a flat, chamfered or rounded head, print without supports, and export STL and 3MF.

Open this style in the software → ▶ Watch the clip (20s, Thai) ↗

Leveling feet

Adjustable feet for tables and cabinets — a plug that goes inside the tube, a slip-over cap, or a plate screwed under a wooden top. Use a steel M6–M12 bolt or a fully printed thread, and finish with a cone pad, a star knob or a swivel ball that tilts to the floor. Exports STL and 3MF.

Open this style in the software →

Floating letter pins

Snap-fit standoffs that float letters off the wall in two parts: a receiver fixed to the wall (screwed, pressed into a hole or taped) and a push pin glued behind the letter. Pick a dome lock that pushes in easily and comes apart again, a ridged shaft that grips harder, or a slotted arrow head that locks tightest. Lift height and every size are adjustable, and a four-level fit test kit lets you print a trial first. Exports STL and 3MF.

Open this style in the software → ▶ Watch the clip (20s, Thai) ↗

Rubber stamp handles

A handle and base for ready-made rubber stamp sheets. Bases come round, oval, rectangular or with rounded corners and are sized to the rubber you have, with glue grooves underneath for a firm bond. Choose from five handle shapes — teardrop, ball, tamper, bell or cylinder — joined to the base by a printed thread so bases can be swapped. Prints without supports and exports STL and 3MF.

Open this style in the software →

Pipe clamps & clips

Clamps for PVC pipe, electrical conduit and cables in four types — snap-in clips, U saddles, P-clips and multi-slot clips. Pick a standard pipe size or enter your own, then mount with screws or tape. Printed on edge so the layers follow the curve for strength, with no supports, and exports STL and 3MF.

Open this style in the software →

Double-sided light box

A projecting light box readable from both sides with two multi-colour printed faces. The back mirrors the front automatically, or uses its own text or image. Set the box width or height, and pick a round, rectangle, oval, hexagon, octagon, diamond, heart, flower, star or shield shape, or upload your own. Choose a separate bezel, a bezel merged into the face, or plug-in faces with no bezel, plus a 5D glowing rim, an LED strip channel and a wall bracket on a dovetail rail locked with an M4 screw. Letters and artwork can stand raised on both faces with a 45° chamfer, a rounded edge or a neon-style dome, with the height set per colour. Includes 10 ready-made templates and exports a colour-separated 3MF ready to print, plus DXF/SVG for cutting acrylic.

Open this style in the software →

Battery holder

Battery holders and packs for light-up signs in three types: nickel-weld pack spacers, a battery box with bays for the BMS, charge jack, switch and voltmeter, or a spring tray for swappable cells. Supports 18650, 21700, 26650, 14500, AA, AAA, C and D cells or a custom size. Pick a 3V, 5V, 12V or 24V template and the series and parallel count is worked out from the runtime or capacity you need. Lay cells out in a grid, honeycomb or single row, with nickel guide grooves, polarity marks, and a wiring diagram plus a guide in the export. Prints with no supports.

Open this style in the software →

PVC pipe fittings (Beta)

21 3D-printed PVC pipe fittings: couplings, reducers, 90° and 45° elbows, tees, reducing tees, crosses, three-, four- and five-way corner joints for furniture frames, caps, BSP male and female threaded adapters, threaded elbows and tees, plugs, nipples, bushings and hose barbs. Uses Thai pipe sizes from ⅜″ to 4″ or a custom pipe size. Choose structural use or low-pressure water use, which gives thicker walls and a tighter socket fit. Prints with no supports (Beta)

Open this style in the software →

Hinge (Beta)

A fully adjustable 3D-printed hinge in four types: a butt hinge with two leaves, a butterfly hinge, a concealed barrel hinge set into a cabinet edge, and a one-piece living hinge. Print it in one piece and it moves straight off the bed, or print the halves separately and add a printed pin or a steel rod. Countersunk screw holes, round or teardrop axle hole, prints flat with no supports (Beta)

Open this style in the software →

Paper embosser (Beta)

A 3D-printed paper embosser made from your own text or logo. Put the paper between the raised male die and the recessed female die, squeeze, and the pattern is embossed into the sheet. Choose the folding version, printed in one piece with the hinge already inside, or the four-corner magnet version whose plates snap together by themselves. Set the pattern height, the clearance to match your paper thickness, and a 45° chamfer or rounded edge so the paper does not tear. Stiffening ribs on the back stop it flexing, and you can add two-colour lid art and a dust tray. Prints flat with no supports (Beta)

Deep customisation · 39 features

Deep customisation — control every dimension to match the real material

Once a style is chosen, each one has its own set of parameters: thickness, walls, ledges, fit clearance, and the details specific to that kind of work.

Initial and name desk sign

Place the name across the initial and adjust position, angle, locking groove, connectors, thickness and stand.

Open this style in the software →

Picture frame design

Pick a preset frame, upload an outline or use text, then set the size, moulding profile, back cover and stand or hanger.

Open this style in the software →

Screw head and drive type

Choose the head style and drive type, then set the head diameter, head height, knurling around the head, and the drive socket size and depth.

Open this style in the software →

Thread and screw point

Set the threaded length, thread angle, number of starts, left-hand or self-tapping thread, the point shape, and the assembly clearance for 3D printing.

Open this style in the software →

Countersunk flat head screw

A flat countersunk head with a hex socket drive that sits flush with the surface, for jobs where the head must not stand proud.

Open this style in the software →

Sign standoff

Builds a sleeve-and-stud sign standoff — set the sleeve diameter and length, the threaded hole depth, the front cap and the stud length.

Open this style in the software →

Gear reduction pairs

Set the driver and driven tooth counts and the software works out the center distance and ratio, with both gears sharing one module. Includes 1:2 and 1:3 motor-reduction presets that add profile shift so small pinions are not undercut.

Open this style in the software →

Helical gear pairs

Switch the tooth type to helical, then set a helix angle of 5–45° and a left or right hand. The teeth engage gradually, so they run quieter than spur gears, and in pair mode the driven gear gets the opposite hand automatically.

Open this style in the software →

Herringbone gears

Two opposite helical halves joined into a herringbone, so their axial thrust cancels out — high torque without pushing the gear along its shaft. The preset uses module 2 with a 30° helix.

Open this style in the software →

Rack and pinion

Build a pinion with a matching rack to turn rotation into straight-line travel. Set the rack length and base thickness, and the software shows the actual length, the distance from the gear center to the rack base, and how far the rack moves per turn.

Open this style in the software →

Planetary gear sets

Enter the ratio you want and the number of planets, and the software finds sun, planet and ring tooth counts that actually assemble — a complete set with carrier, pins and base plate. Presets for 1:4 and 1:5 are included, and if an exact ratio is impossible it shows the closest one.

Open this style in the software →

Internal ring gears

A pinion meshing inside an internal-tooth ring. Set the ring wall thickness and mounting ears with screw holes, and if the ring has too few extra teeth so the tips would clash, the software warns you and suggests the tooth count to use.

Open this style in the software →

Gear hubs, spokes and bores

Choose a round, D-cut, keyway or hex bore, add a set-screw hole, a raised hub and an edge chamfer, and lighten the gear with holes or spokes like the steampunk preset. If the bore would eat into the tooth roots, the software shows the largest size you can use.

Open this style in the software →

Gear backlash test kit

Print four test gear pairs at 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 and 0.30 mm backlash, with a pin base to hold the shafts. Spin each pair and keep the value that runs smoothest on your printer — the 0.15 mm default has been confirmed by a real test print.

Open this style in the software →

Oval column letters

Switch the surface to an ellipse and set its width, depth and where the text sits on it — for oval columns or walls with an uneven curve. Front-lit builds and the lighting preview work just like any other style.

Open this style in the software →

Mount inside or outside the curve

Wrap letters around the outside of a column or along the inside of a concave wall — the letter backs follow whichever side you choose, with an allowance for mounting tape or glue.

Open this style in the software →

Flat face, curved back

Keep the letter face flat and curve only the back to hug the surface, so pieces print face-down easily. Add an acrylic face and a plaswood back with locking ridges, an optional lip and adjustable depth — the cut outlines for both sheets are calculated for you.

Open this style in the software →

Fully curved letters

Curve both the face and the back of every letter. Choose a 3D-printed face, bent acrylic or solid letters; bent acrylic comes as a flat unrolled outline to heat-bend onto the curve, and pieces are automatically kept from colliding at the back. It looks the best, but is harder to print than the flat-face option.

Open this style in the software →

Follow a curve you draw

Upload your own curved wall line as an SVG or DXF file drawn from above, then set its real-world width and where the text sits along it — for walls that are not a circle or an ellipse.

Open this style in the software →

Solid letters, no cut sheets

Skip the acrylic and plaswood entirely: print each letter solid, with a clean face and a smooth curved back that sits flush on the wall — ready to mount with no cut sheets to deal with.

Open this style in the software →

Ambigram arrangement

Two arrangements to choose from. Angled puts the piece in a straight row of blocks turned 45°, with both words readable from the front. Square-on keeps the blocks facing forward and steps them diagonally, so word A reads from the front and word B from the right. Both are the very same object, only rotated — identical volume and triangle count.

Open this style in the software →

Three ambigram base shapes

A base joins every letter pair into one printable piece. Pick Contoured, whose edge follows the bottom of the letters, or Bar or Capsule, then set the plate 1–20 mm thick and the margin 0–30 mm. If the base still splits into separate plates, or a letter overhangs it, the app warns you and says how to fix it.

Open this style in the software →

Curve quality and thin-wall warning

Set the maximum deviation from the true font outline between 0.02 and 0.30 mm — smaller is smoother but makes a bigger file — and set the thin-wall warning between 0.4 and 5 mm to match your nozzle and material. The app measures the thinnest point of every pair and reports it in millimetres.

Open this style in the software →

Check both angles before printing

Angle A and Angle B move an orthographic camera to the exact reading position of each word, and Flat silhouette floods the piece in one flat colour with the shading removed, so you can confirm both letterforms are complete before spending filament.

Open this style in the software →

Ambigrams from images or SVG

Instead of typing you can upload two pictures (.svg .png .jpg .webp) and get one solid that shows the first from one side and the second from the other. The app uses the combined silhouette of each picture and scales both to exactly the same height, so neither silhouette gets trimmed — handy for paired logos and keepsakes.

Open this style in the software →

Where the second view sits

Read the second word from the side (a 90° turn left or right, with both words the same number of letters) or from above (one long row read from the front, then tipped up to reveal the other word, where the letter counts need not match). In the tipped-up mode the app matches the two widths for you — either by stretching the letters or by spreading the gaps — and tells you exactly how much the shorter word was stretched.

Open this style in the software →
Production files · 17 features

Production files — finish with files you can actually build from

Every job ends in files that go straight to a 3D printer or a cutting machine, plus tools that work out the LED requirements and produce a quotation for your customer.

Frequently asked

Quick answers before you start

What features does Aksorn3D have, and how many are there?

This page lists 126 features in 4 categories: 21 core tools, 49 sign styles, 39 deep customisation panels and 17 export tools. Every image on the page is a real screenshot from the software.

Do I need to be a draughtsman or know CAD?

No. You type text or upload an SVG, choose the style that matches the job, then adjust values with sliders or by typing millimetres. The software builds the walls, ledges and assembly clearances for you, and the 3D model updates as you go.

Can the exported files go straight into production?

Yes. You get STL in millimetres for your slicer, DXF for cutting acrylic or plaswood, 3MF for two-colour work and SVG for perforated jobs, plus a README of the settings used, all in one ZIP.

How is it charged?

Credits, deducted only when you download a file. Typing text, choosing styles, adjusting values, viewing the 3D model and previewing the lighting are all free and unlimited. New accounts get 100 free credits.

Does it work out the LED requirements?

There are two tools for that. The LED summary calculates from the real light path and reports run length per letter, number of runs, wattage, current and the switching supply size. The LED wiring plan (Beta) produces a circuit diagram, feed points and a parts list to hand to your installer.

Does it really support Thai?

It supports Thai, English and Vietnamese, with vowels and tone marks placed correctly. Choose from several ready-made fonts, or upload your own .ttf/.otf file.

Can I design gears for 3D printing or laser cutting?

Yes. The Gears style builds involute gears whose teeth truly mesh — spur, helical and herringbone gears, reduction pairs, rack and pinion, internal ring gears, planetary sets, timing pulleys and chain sprockets. Set 4–300 teeth and a module of 0.2–10 mm, or switch to inches (diametral pitch), with a 14.5°, 20° or 25° pressure angle and a 0.15 mm default backlash. Export STL and 3MF for 3D printing and DXF and SVG for laser cutting, plus a spec sheet listing the pitch, tip and root diameters. Print a test piece before relying on it.

Can I make sign letters for a round column or a curved wall?

Yes. The Curved Surface Letters style builds 3D letters whose backs follow a round or oval column, a tank, a cylindrical bottle, or a curved wall traced from your own SVG or DXF line, mounted either outside or inside the curve. Choose flat face with a curved back (acrylic and plaswood, or printed solid) or fully curved letters. You get numbered STL and 3MF pieces, DXF and SVG cut sheets flat or unrolled to the curve, a full-size installation template and assembly steps in one download. The style is currently in Beta.

Can I make letters that read as two different words from two angles (an ambigram)?

Yes. The Dual-View Ambigram style builds a single solid that reads as one word from one angle and as another word from 90° away. The second view can sit to the side — turn the piece left or right, with both words the same number of letters — or above, where the piece is one long row read from the front and then tipped up to reveal the other word; in that mode the letter counts need not match, the app matches the two widths for you and reports exactly how much the shorter word was stretched. Type 2–8 characters from A–Z and 0–9 (Thai is not supported, because vowel marks above and below only carry material at certain heights, so the intersection would cut the base consonant into bands). Add one of three base shapes, and check both angles and the flat silhouette before printing — or upload two pictures instead of typing. Exports STL and 3MF for 3D printing. The style is currently in Beta.

Besides letters and signs, what other 3D-printable parts can it make?

Quite a few: ISO nuts and bolts, involute gears, screw-cap bottles and jars that really close, bottle-shaped light boxes, print-in-place chains that move with no assembly, sign brackets for walls, ceilings, shelves and desks, S, J and L hooks plus a carabiner with a print-in-place spring gate, end caps for steel tube in both insert and slip-over forms, adjustable feet for tables and cabinets that take a steel M6–M12 bolt or a fully printed thread, snap-fit standoffs that float letters off the wall, handles for ready-made rubber stamp sheets, and clamps for PVC pipe, conduit and cables. Everything is set in real millimetres and exports as STL and 3MF, ready to print.
