Do you mean taking screenshots? It can be done as following:

For Firefox 

Open context menu upon the canvas -> [save picture as] -> save the drawing as a 
local image file.

For any browser

Use the given single line of JavaScript:

  window.open(canvas.toDataURL());

which opens a new page with the screenshot. You can then save the image 
manually.

i want to export the image of a designed product and save that image to a 
database collection:

(function () {
    "use strict";
    var canvas, content, viewer, duckConfigurator = {

        loadDuck: function () {
            content = document.createElement('div');
            content.setAttribute('id', 'content');
            content.setAttribute('style', 'width:100%; height:100%; ');

            var html = '<p><canvas id="canvas" width=800; height=400;></canvas></p>';
            document.body.innerHTML = html;

            viewer = new JSC3D.Viewer(document.getElementById('canvas'));
            viewer.setParameter('SceneUrl',         'product/car.obj');
            viewer.setParameter('ModelColor',       '#FFFFFF');
            viewer.setParameter('BackgroundColor1', '#FFFFFF');
            viewer.setParameter('BackgroundColor2', '#FFFFFF');
            viewer.setParameter('RenderMode',       'textureSmooth');
            viewer.setParameter('setDefinition', 'high');
            viewer.onmousedown = function (x, y, button, depth, mesh) {
                if (button === 0 && mesh !== null) {

                  var color = 0x000080;
                  var newMat = new JSC3D.Material('', 0, color, 0, true);
                  mesh.setMaterial(newMat);

                    viewer.update();

                }
                if(button === 2){
                    duckConfigurator.export();
                }
            };
            viewer.init();
            document.body.appendChild(content);

        },
        export : function () {
        // EXPORT IMAGE TO C/Configurator/products
                console.log("export");

        }
    };
    window.duckConfigurator = duckConfigurator;
    duckConfigurator.loadDuck();
}());

Use canvas.toDataURL() method to get current state of the canvas as an image 
encoded in base64. For example:

  var dataURI = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg');

The returned value is a string representation of the image which can be 
submitted to database directly.  The result can even be converted to binary 
stream, which can be treated as blob on database, through the atob() method 
provided by browser. See

-in-javascript for how to achieve this.
