Key features
  • Mesh Simplification: reduce triangle count with quadric-error decimation while preserving silhouette
  • LOD Chains: generate multiple detail levels from one high-poly asset
  • Watertight Rebuild: close holes and rebuild surfaces on damaged models
  • Mesh Inspection: detect non-manifold edges, holes, winding, missing UVs and platform compatibility
  • 3D File Converter: convert between OBJ, STL, PLY, OFF and GLB formats
  • 3D Model Viewer: inspect models with orbit controls, grid and wireframe
  • 3D GIF Maker: export rotating GIF or MP4 turntable animations from models
  • REST API: programmatic access for scripts and asset pipelines
  • MCP server: AI client integration for agents like Claude
  • STL mesh repair with Manifold3D kernel for non-manifold fixes
  • STL to STEP conversion using OpenCASCADE AP214 standard
  • Multi-format conversion: OBJ, 3MF to STL, GLB for AR
  • AI text-to-CAD generation with neural modeling engine
  • Parametric 3D design with CSG 2-Manifold topology
  • Watertight mesh certification and slicer telemetry
  • Browser-based zero-login access, no software installation
What makes it different
  • Queue-backed pipeline with Postgres state tracking maintains work across device refreshes and crashes
  • Data privacy: models never used for ML training, stored in private object storage with signed expiring downloads
  • Owned hardware infrastructure with zero-egress storage keeps economics viable for large 3D files
  • Same account and allowances across Studio, REST API and MCP interfaces
  • Processing split by tier: paid work runs on dedicated workers not held up behind free traffic
  • Certified 2-Manifold topology ensures files print without slicing errors
  • Industrial-grade STEP export for CNC machining and professional CAD software
  • AI-powered text-to-CAD at lower cost than competitors (€0.14 per model)
