3D-Printed AprilTags That Withstand the Real World

By William Guimont-Martin1 minute read

In many robotics projects, AprilTags are indispensable. But the standard approach — printing on paper, gluing to cardboard — doesn’t hold up outside the lab. Tags peel, warp, fade, and disintegrate when exposed to handling, humidity, or rough environments.

Tracker3D.jl solves this. It generates 3D-printable AprilTags engineered for the real world: flat, durable, weather-resistant, and easy to integrate directly into enclosures or mounts. Whether you’re field-testing robots or deploying long-term vision systems, these tags won’t fail you.
