Automatic STL Repair

In this section, we will explore automatic correction tools for STL files for 3D printing

STL One Click

This command lets you check and repair your design for 3D printing and save it in STL format. It is especially useful if you must send the file to your manufacturing supplier or want to 3D print multiple designs simultaneously.

Once you run this command, it will ask which folder you want to save your design.

Check

The Check command reports errors in the selected object's data structure.

Repair

The MeshRepair command opens the Mesh Repair panel.

The Mesh Repair panel contains a mesh information display and repair commands to make repairing bad meshes easier.

Some STL/SLA printers have problems if meshes contain many long, thin facets. These facets can slow the printer down, produce odd results, or run the printer out of memory.
