The Official Coat of Arms of Amsterdam is a Symbol of the City's Rich History. The coat of arms of Amsterdam features a red shield and a black pale with three silver Saint Andrew's Crosses, an Imperial Crown, two golden lions, and the city's motto. The crosses and crown are also found on various locations throughout the city, serving as a reminder of Amsterdam's rich history. You can use this coaster to house your favorite drink, made from a standard size design (100 by 100 by 5 mm) that fits perfectly in coaster holders available online. This design was created using a unique process involving Blender and Meshmixer software. The original logo was converted into an SVG file, then imported into Blender where it was transformed into a 3D object. In Meshmixer, the file was repaired, and some aspects were erased before adding a coaster and merging it with the picture after scaling. The design was then exported as an STL file and sliced for printing using Netfabb Online Service, which offers unlimited procedures for fixing STL files. This approach proved effective in resolving issues with the model, allowing it to be printed without problems. For those interested in learning how to convert a 2D image into a 3D model, a video tutorial is available online (under 6 minutes). The tutorial also provides links to download Blender and Inkscape for free. Designing a 2D picture into a 3D model involves several steps, including converting the logo into an SVG file using Inkscape, then importing it into Blender where it can be transformed into a 3D object. You can find coaster holders designed by Raimon of Idea Lab on Thingiverse, along with instructions for printing and configuring the design.
