Manual conversion does have the benefit of a human checking every element drawn to ensure accuracy. You will open the raster image in your CAD software and diligently draw over every individual line, shape and element in the image to represent the image in CAD data. In fact, the process can be painstakingly slow. Manual conversion – or manually tracing an image – is the slowest of the two options.

Automatically convert the image to DXF using conversion software (automatic conversion).

Manually trace the image (manual conversion).

When considering how to convert an image to DXF, you will be faced with two options: When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.A floor plan image converted to DXF in Scan2CAD Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our DXF conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. What if I am using an Ad Blocker, will that affect things? No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools. Yes! Our DXF to STL tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. Can I convert DXF to STL on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS? The resulting STL file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time. Yes, of course! We do not store the DXF file you submit to us.

Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week. We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. How accurate is the DXF to STL conversion? We aim to process all DXF to STL conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient. How long does it take to convert my DXF to STL? When the DXF to STL conversion has completed, you can download your STL file straight away. First click the 'Upload.' button, select your DXF file to upload.
