Customizing Arabic Nameplates

Excellent Arabic Language Support: Specially designed to handle connected and mirrored Arabic text, automatically merging dots and letters to ensure a cohesive and strong piece during printing.

General Idea

The script creates a custom nameplate featuring:

• An embossed 3D name

• An organically shaped background (cloud / frame / path)

• An automatic hanging hole option with a smart location

• Automatic scaling if the name is long

• Separate colors for text and background (suitable for multi-color AMS printers)

1. Text Settings

Here you control the name's appearance:

• Name → The name written on the design

• Font_Name → Font type (cairo / tajawal / amiri)

• Base_Font_Size → Base font size

• Text_Thickness → 3D extrusion thickness

• Text_Color → Text color

2. Background Settings

Control the shape of the “plate” behind the name:

• Backplate_Thickness → Base thickness

• Offset_Distance → Amount of background expansion around the text

• Backplate_Type:

  • Cloud → Soft organic cloud shape

  • Connected → Follows the shape of the letters

  • Frame → Hollow frame around the text

• Backplate_Color → Background color

3. Smart Hanging Hole

A smart feature within the script:

• Hanging_Hole → Turn hole on/off

• Hole_Radius → Hole size

• Hole_Position → Its location (top/bottom/right/left/corners)

• Hole_Margin → Safety distance from the text

The intelligence here:
The script automatically calculates the hole's position based on the text size and shape, without manual intervention.

4. Automatic Scaling

• Max_Allowed_Width → Maximum plate width

• The script automatically calculates the name length

• If the name is large:

  • Automatically reduces font size

  • Prevents the design from exceeding print boundaries

5. Internal Geometric Calculations

The script automatically calculates:

• Approximate name width

• Text X and Y boundaries

• Hole coordinates based on its position

• Background distribution around the text

This eliminates the need for any manual adjustment.

6. Modules

2D Text Generation

Generates the 2D shape of the name before 3D conversion.

3D Text

• Converts text to a 3D object

• Raises it above the base

• Applies the specified color

2D Background

Creates the background shape based on type:

• Cloud → Soft expansion (circular offset)

• Connected → Connected expansion

• Frame → Hollow frame using difference

3D Background + Hole

• Converts the background to a 3D object

• Adds a support base around the hole

• Neatly carves the hole within the base

7. Final Assembly

Finally:

• Text + Background are merged into one object

• Ready for immediate 3D printing

• Compatible with multi-color (AMS)

Summary

This is a “Professional Name Generator” script:

• Smart in scaling

• Flexible in design

• Suitable for 3D printing

• Provides a ready-made product with almost no manual adjustment
