<h2>Why SVG is perfect for 3D stamps</h2>

<p><strong>SVG files</strong> are vector graphics, which means they stay sharp at any scale. This makes them perfect for:</p>
<ul>
<li>clean and crisp stamped details,</li>
<li>precise control over depth and thickness,</li>
<li>logos and custom brand marks.</li>
</ul>

<p>This approach is ideal for creating <strong>polymer clay stamps</strong>, custom tools, and decorative textures.</p>

<h2>Process overview: from SVG to 3D stamp</h2>

<h3>1. Preparing the SVG file</h3>
<p>Best results come from:</p>
<ul>
<li>simple shapes and bold lines,</li>
<li>high-contrast designs,</li>
<li>avoiding ultra-thin details.</li>
</ul>

<h3>2. Importing SVG into Blender</h3>
<p>The SVG is imported as curves and then converted into a mesh that can be edited and extruded.</p>

<h3>3. Extruding and adding thickness</h3>
<p>The shape is extruded along the Z-axis to create depth that stamps clearly into clay.</p>

<h3>4. Building the stamp body</h3>
<p>You can add a base or handle to make the stamp easier and more comfortable to use.</p>

<h3>5. Exporting STL for 3D printing</h3>
<p>Once finished, export the model as an <strong>.STL</strong> file and prepare it for printing in your slicer.</p>

<hr>

<h2>Practical tips</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Stamp depth:</strong> 0.8–1.5 mm works best for polymer clay.</li>
<li><strong>Base thickness:</strong> at least 2–3 mm for strength.</li>
<li><strong>Material:</strong> PLA or PLA+ is more than enough.</li>
<li><strong>Test first:</strong> always test the stamp in clay before production.</li>
</ul>

<p>This workflow lets you turn any SVG into a functional <strong>3D stamp for polymer clay</strong> in just a few minutes. It’s a fast way to personalize your designs, build your own tools, and create textures that truly match your style.</p>
