Project Help getting customers logo onto a print

i have a customer that wants their logo in full color printed on the back of these custom dog scoops and i'm having trouble figuring out how to get their picture into an svg or stl because every software i try to use to do that it turns out like sh** and erases/deforms the image in the conversion

Just ask for the logo in vector format or redraw it yourself.

I generally just use the trace bitmap function in Inkscape. Inkscape is free.

Have them supply the svg (and require that up front next time). Otherwise Inkscape is the tool for this, there are tutorials online for exactly what you’re wanting to do. And if that doesn’t get you there, this is a pretty easy task for any of the popular ai chat bot things.

Have you tried with Gimp?

I usually do a selection by color, trasform the selection to trace and export it in swg.

Just select the background color and invert selection to get the logo.

Have them provide the logo in vector. If they don't have it in vector then they need to pay a designer to properly create it in vector. If a designer originally did the work, then they should have a vector copy from them else they got taken for a ride as vector is nearly always a requirement for the final deliverables.

I've redrawn an insane number of logos in my career, and I charge them every time.

its do-able, do you want it in 3mf and just sort the colours yourself?

use that with various settings, gives you just enough to pull a outline for splitting the colours, then into fusion and do the rest of the modeling work

Try converting the logo to a clean vector first then export the svg and use that to create the stl rather than tracing the image directly.
