3D Bead Patterns is an independent browser-based design tool for Perler, Hama, Artkal and other compatible 5mm fuse beads. It helps makers preview a finished 3D object, generate the flat panels needed to build it and calculate materials before starting.
Why it exists
Placing beads is approachable; planning panels that line up is not. This tool turns that planning work into a guided process: preview, customize, edit and print.
How it works
The generator runs in your browser. Shape patterns are calculated from predefined geometry, while photo conversion matches image colors to supported bead-brand palettes. Uploaded images are processed locally and are not intentionally sent to a server by the tool.
Independent and brand-neutral
3D Bead Patterns is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Perler, Hama, Artkal or other bead manufacturers. Brand names are used only to identify compatible products and color palettes.
Using the patterns
You may use generated patterns for personal projects, classroom activities and finished handmade items. Please review the Terms of Use for important limits and safety guidance.
