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
  • Supports 70+ 3D printer presets (Bambu, Prusa, Creality, Elegoo, Anycubic, Voron)
  • Automatic and manual cutting modes
  • Interlocking pegs and joints with adjustable clearance
  • Real-time 3D preview of cuts
  • Handles files up to 200 MB
  • Reads STL, binary STL, ASCII STL and 3MF formats
  • Exports each piece as individual STL files
  • Separate dowels option for stronger joints
  • Cross pins for improved strength
  • No file upload to servers, all processing local to browser
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
  • Free with no sign-up, account or watermark required
  • No file upload to servers; all processing happens locally in your browser
  • Cuts entire model to bed size in one step with interlocking pegs
  • Real boolean cutting preserves surface detail on uncut axes
  • Works in any browser with no installation needed
