Stamp maker
Make clay stamps
The stamp maker turns colored art into a clay stamp, or a matched cutter-and-stamp pair (a cutter that cuts the shape and a separate stamp that imprints the design). It reads the roles by color: the outermost color sets the plate or cut edge, and every other color becomes the design. Choose emboss or deboss, preview it in 3D in your browser, and download a print-ready STL. We never store, share, or train on your artwork.
What can the stamp maker make?
Two things. A plain stamp is a solid block that presses a design into clay. A cutter-and-stamp pair is two separate parts, a cutter that cuts the outline and a matching stamp that imprints the design onto the cut clay. Single-color art defaults to a plain stamp; art with a distinct outer color defaults to the pair. For a one-piece tool that cuts and imprints in a single press, use the Cutter tool, which already imprints interior detail.
How does the color keying work?
The tool reads your art by color. The outermost color, the one with nothing but background outside it, becomes the cutting edge or the plate boundary. Every other color embosses. So a coral border around a black motif cuts the border shape and raises the motif inside.
What image works best?
Flat art with clean, separate colors on a white or transparent background: a colored outline around a solid motif reads most reliably. High contrast between the colors helps the tool tell the roles apart.
Emboss or deboss, which do I pick?
Emboss leaves the design raised in the finished clay; deboss presses it in. It is the same meaning as the cutter tool, so switching between the two is predictable. Both are available for stamps and stamp cutters.
How do I print and use it?
Print face-up with no supports. Press the stamp firmly into rolled clay. A stamp cutter cuts the shape and imprints the design at once; a plain stamp just imprints. PLA and PETG both work well.
