3d-print-letterpress 中文文档教程
3d-print-letterpress
将 OpenType 和 TrueType（.otf 和 .ttf）文件转换为具有指定磅值和字形的凸版印刷类型的 3D 可打印 (.stl) 模型。
该项目汇集了两种新旧技术，通过生产民主化赋予人们权力。
Installation
3d-print-letterpress 需要 node.js。
通过 npm 安装
$ npm install git+https://git@github.com:jonathanzong/3d-print-letterpress.git -g
Usage Example
$ 3d-print-letterpress
Usage: 3d-print-letterpress type-file [point-size [glyphs]]
Usage: 3d-print-letterpress svg-file
请记住，STL 文件是无单位的，您必须将模型缩放到类型高（0.918 英寸或 23.317 英寸）毫米）。
Single Glyph
$ 3d-print-letterpress Gotham-Book.otf 16 H
output written to Gotham-BookSTL/Gotham-Book16ptUpperH.stl
Multiple Glyphs
$ 3d-print-letterpress Gotham-Book.otf 16 OMG
output written to Gotham-BookSTL/Gotham-Book16ptUpperO.stl
output written to Gotham-BookSTL/Gotham-Book16ptUpperM.stl
output written to Gotham-BookSTL/Gotham-Book16ptUpperG.stl
SVG Path File
$ 3d-print-letterpress bird.svg
output written to svg_pathSTL/svg_path97ptbird.stl
Final Product
根据您的 3d 打印机的分辨率，您可能需要打磨字母面以使其完全水平。 我在用类型规检查高度时使用了细砂纸（如上图所示）。
我的第一个打印：
我选择了一个无衬线字母T 因为它的几何图形。 凹槽是 3d 打印机如何挤出的副产品。 我喜欢它如何指示制作字体的材料。
Dependencies
3d 打印凸版使用
- opentype -- parser for OpenType and TrueType formats
- JSModeler -- 3D modeling library modifed here to work in Node.js (removed references to the DOM)
- node-raphael -- SVG utility to perform path calculations

3d-print-letterpress
Converts OpenType and TrueType (.otf and .ttf) files into 3D printable (.stl) models of letterpress type for a specified point size and glyph.
This project brings together two technologies, old and new, that empower people through the democratization of production.
Installation
3d-print-letterpress requires node.js.
Install via npm
$ npm install git+https://git@github.com:jonathanzong/3d-print-letterpress.git -g
Usage Example
$ 3d-print-letterpress
Usage: 3d-print-letterpress type-file [point-size [glyphs]]
Usage: 3d-print-letterpress svg-file
Keep in mind that STL files are unitless, and that you will have to scale your models to type-high (0.918 in or 23.317 mm).
Single Glyph
$ 3d-print-letterpress Gotham-Book.otf 16 H
output written to Gotham-BookSTL/Gotham-Book16ptUpperH.stl
Multiple Glyphs
$ 3d-print-letterpress Gotham-Book.otf 16 OMG
output written to Gotham-BookSTL/Gotham-Book16ptUpperO.stl
output written to Gotham-BookSTL/Gotham-Book16ptUpperM.stl
output written to Gotham-BookSTL/Gotham-Book16ptUpperG.stl
SVG Path File
$ 3d-print-letterpress bird.svg
output written to svg_pathSTL/svg_path97ptbird.stl
Final Product
Depending on the resolution of your 3d printer, you will likely have to sand the letter face to be perfectly level. I used fine sandpaper while checking the height with a type gauge (pictured above).
My first print:
I chose a sans-serif letter T for its very geometric figure. The grooves are a byproduct of how the 3d printer extrudes. I like how it gives an indication of the material from which the type is made.
