  • How to Add Text in Meshmixer
    In this video, I show you a simple way to add text to a model. Text can be the patients name, the date the model was taken, the aligner number (eg 2 of 4), an office logo, a filing area, etc.
    If you are printing models in your office, don't use a sharpie! Emboss or deboss text. It's really easy and only needs a few steps.
    You can do this on a Mac or PC.
    I hope the video is helpful. Leave questions or comments below.

    I'm not a dentist but this is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much

    Great video! your method works well. Another way to accomplish the remesh is to use make solid. It works for all surfaces.
    edit>remesh>make solid.
    Turn the solid accuracy and the mesh density all the way up and your entire model will be remeshed. This will allow you put text on any surface, even curved surfaces.
    Note: If the model is large it can take a few minutes to calculate.

    Make sure you follow the bit about the refinement section at 5:06! 100-0-100-100 for the 4 bars, the "refine" bar being at 100 is the most important!

    I would like to thank you for a wonderful and clear explanation on how to do the embossing on Meshmixer. Before I saw your video I've got a weird result. What I've been missing is the process of "remeshing" the area where I want to place the emboss. Now I'm happy for the good result.

    You can also use 3D paint ,there you can make from 2D a 3D image and import as a obj in meshmixer.

    Thank you for taking the time to explain how this is done. You're video was very helpful to me. On a side note, I followed your directions and settings. When I add the stencil I have created which is just a name, it does not add it to the image. It looks like a few bumps. If i keep left clicking, I start to see the name but the more I click it looks like spikes or mountains...Not sure what is going on

    Didn't work. I imported the stensil text pattern, but no text got stamped, just a circle bump., and the elected area i did went away once i clicked sculpt.

    how did you flatten the 2 surfaces initially, and how did you make both surfaces different colors? Just started using this software thanks.

    An easier way is to make the label on Tinkercad, export it as STL, and just join it to the model. Need to transform, and move it and scale it. A lot less steps.

    We working on debossing on a ring and getting an embossing on the opposite side (inside of the band) by accident. Is there something we can do in the settings for hollow objects.

  • @hyperespy3044
    @hyperespy3044 Před 3 lety

    came across issues it says draw a loop of curves to remesh. have no idea how to do it

  • @josemedina01
    @josemedina01 Před 3 lety

    How did you remesh so fast? Do you have a lot of memory or just a powerful machine?

  • @adamnichols476

    I want to do it in mesh mixer. Not have to import garbage.

  • @kirbynelson4451
    @kirbynelson4451 Před 4 lety

    Can you emboss the names on the bottom of the model? there is a lot more room and won't interfere with the retainer / aligner

    When I try to add the text I just get a blank square, any advice?

  • @rickhill3177
    @rickhill3177 Před rokem

    This doesn't work for me. When I add the object, Meshmixer just prints a square shaped blob on the model.

  • @joshbryant8929

    Is there a way to make the text come outwards rather than inwards

  • @LIONY325
    @LIONY325 Před 4 lety

    If you click on my name, you can view the video I have uploaded to youtube. It shows the trouble I am having. Not sure if you can offer any advice as to what may be going wrong. Thank you

    Isnt working for me. I load the stencil and press the left button and nothing.

    I would suggest getting a pop filter for your mic. It will help with the "P" not overmodulating and sounding so harsh.

    What program do you recommend for MacBooks since Paint is not available?

    Great video.
    Will it also be possible to add vector files like a chip carving pattern to a curved stl-file?

  • @drummerhammar
    @drummerhammar Před rokem

    Easy on a flat surface, not so easy on a curved surface.
