About BumpMesh

BumpMesh, by CNC Kitchen, is a browser-based tool that adds displacement textures to 3D models and exports printable textured meshes. It accepts .stl, .obj, .3mf and .step files. STEP files are converted to a mesh during import. The homepage states that all processing runs locally in the browser and that no data is uploaded.

The tool offers a texture gallery, custom texture map uploads, several projection modes, and masking by face angle or painted area. Results can be exported as STL or 3MF. The homepage also lists experimental features that may change between releases. Limits stated on the homepage include slow 3D preview when hardware acceleration is unavailable, possible geometry overlaps when texture height exceeds 10% of the smallest model dimension, loss of fine detail when resolution is coarser than 1/100 of the bounding box diagonal, and a 16 million triangle safety cap during subdivision. The license states that no support is provided and the tool is supplied as-is without warranty.

Key features

  • Displacement textures from a built-in gallery or custom uploaded height maps
  • Projection modes including triplanar, cubic, cylindrical, spherical and planar
  • Masking by face angle or by painted surface area
  • Texture height, reverse direction and symmetric displacement controls
  • Export to STL or 3MF with adjustable resolution and triangle output
  • Experimental overhang protection and flat-bottom smoothing under Advanced / Beta
Best for: Makers and designers who want to add surface texture to 3D-printable models in a browser without installing software.
Good for
  • Homepage states that processing runs locally in the browser and no data is uploaded
  • License states the tool is free to use for any purpose, including commercial work
  • Accepts STEP files in addition to STL, OBJ and 3MF
Watch out for
  • 3D view is slow when hardware acceleration is unavailable in the browser
  • License states that no support is provided and bugs may not be fixed
  • Provided as-is with no warranty, and the author accepts no liability for damages or data loss
