## Overview
**svg2nametag-Ren** converts 2D SVG designs into 3D printable nametags. It automatically splits your design into separate files for different colors, making it easy to print multi-color nametags on printers like the Bambu Lab series.

For detailed setup and usage guides, please check out the **[Wiki](https://git.randomhack.com/Retro/svg2NameTag-Ren.git)**.

## Physical Dimensions
The program automatically scales all designs to these specific measurements for a consistent, professional look:

- **Total Width**: 87.80 mm
- **Background Thickness**: 3.0 mm
- **Background Thickness**: 3.0 mm
- **Text/Detail Thickness**: 2.3 mm (includes 0.3mm inset compensation)
- **Text/Detail Offset**: 2.7 mm (Text is inset into background for better adhesion)
- **Total Height**: 5.0 mm

## Ways to Use
- **Web App**: The easiest way! Just open the web page, drag your files in, and download the results. No installation required. Note: The Web App currently does not support New Format SVGs. It can only read a direct export from Adobe Illustrator. 
- **Python Tool**: For advanced users who want to process hundreds of files at once using the command line. Requires Python 3.12 or higher and some basic knowledge of the command line. Supports New Format.
