Prepare the SVG
Use vector paths or shapes, include a valid viewBox, and set physical width and height. Keep the file self-contained. Text objects, raster images, effects, and external references may trigger recommendations or automatic cleanup.
NEXOFUS HELP · V4.0
From SVG to export, without guesswork.
Use this guide when preparing artwork, choosing a preset, checking the mesh, recovering a saved project, or troubleshooting a stopped generation.
Start with a preset
Choose PCB Trace, Silkscreen, or General Stencil in Simple mode. Advanced mode is available when dimensions, bridge width, resolution, registration holes, or mirroring need manual control.
Read the checks
Required items block generation. Recommended items do not block the workflow but should be reviewed. The engine may also adjust resolution or repair raster topology to keep the mesh stable.
Inspect before download
Use 2D preview for shape inspection and 3D preview for thickness and mesh form. STL and 3MF stay locked until mesh integrity passes.
Save and restore a project
After generation, choose Save Recoverable Project JSON. Current project backups contain the sanitized SVG plus generator settings. Later, use Import Project JSON in the control panel to restore the project and regenerate the preview. Older JSON files without embedded SVG are still accepted for settings recovery, but the original SVG must be uploaded again.
If generation stops
- Review required SVG and parameter checks.
- Use Retry after fixing the input.
- Use Safe defaults when advanced settings are uncertain.
- Simplify very large or very complex SVG artwork.
STL and 3MF
Exports are generated in millimetres. STL uses binary triangle data. 3MF includes standard package relationships and model metadata. Always confirm scale and orientation when first opening an exported file in a slicer.
Current and legacy recovery
Current backups restore settings and saved SVG artwork. Older settings-only backups are accepted for recovery, while unrelated formats and unsupported future schema versions are rejected clearly.
