Normal direction mismatches
Facet normals can be recalculated from triangle winding.

Fast STL fixer
A quick STL fixer for common 3D print mesh problems.
Start with one upload, get a print-ready score, and run a conservative repair preview for supported issue families.
One-step upload to report
Safe repair action log
Export gate stays explicit
Safe repair means conservative mesh cleanup. Holes, non-manifold geometry, and printability still need review when the report says they are beta or report-only.
stl fixer
Upload your STL to start the fixer
The fixer checks common mesh defects first, then lets you preview only the repair actions that are safe in V1.
Anonymous checker limit: 10MB or 100,000 triangles. Checks run locally in your browser for V1.

When to use the STL fixer page
Use this page when you want the shortest path from upload to safe repair preview.
Run a quick mesh health score before a print deadline.
Confirm whether issues are safe, beta, or report-only.
Create a private repair artifact only after reviewing the preview.
Repair boundary
Fast does not mean risky
The fixer keeps risky edits out of the automatic path so a fast workflow does not over-promise geometry repair.
Supported in the current tool
Common triangle cleanup

Kept explicit or report-only
Self-intersections
Complex non-manifold edges
Manual sculpting or CAD edits
FAQ
Questions about stl fixer
Is this STL fixer automatic?
It can automatically preview safe repair candidates, but it still reports risky topology instead of silently editing it.
What makes a repair action safe?
Safe actions remove or recalculate mesh noise without trying to infer missing geometry or redesign the model.
Can I use it just as a checker?
Yes. You can stop at the issue report and use it as a diagnostic STL checker without creating an export artifact.
