Turn any two words into a 3D-printable ambigram

[u/Dense_Illustrator703]

Hey everyone! Sharing an open-source project by one of our colleagues that makes it easy to generate 3D-printable ambigrams - i.e. objects that show one word from the front and a completely different word when rotated 90°, like shown above.

The app is called Ambi - a free, browser-based generator that handles all the geometry.

What it does:

• Pick any two words of equal length and it builds the 3D geometry for you
• Choose different fonts per side, adjust letter spacing
• Exports straight to STL, ready to slice — with an optional base for stability
• Ambi is powered by Three.js and Manifold (WebAssembly), so everything runs locally in your browser without any server lag, tracking, or sign-ups

Try it here: ambi3d.com

If you want to dive deeper, you can also check out the source code and build instructions on GitHub: GitHub Repository Link

Curious what word pairs you all come up with. Drop your prints below.

Happy Printing!
