3D mesh inspect workflow — STL/OBJ before printing

3D mesh inspect workflow — STL/OBJ before printing

Preview meshes, check triangle counts and bounding box before slicer upload.

Bad meshes fail slicers or print with holes — preview catches huge triangle counts, wrong units and non-manifold issues early.

Tentaco 3D CAD Studio loads STL/OBJ in WebGL locally — faster than opening Blender for a quick sanity check.

Steps

Export STL or OBJ from CAD — binary STL preferred for size.
Upload to Mesh Stats — review triangle count and bounding box dimensions.
Confirm units (mm vs inches) match slicer expectations.
If too dense, decimate in Blender then re-check stats.
Proceed to slicer (PrusaSlicer, Cura) with confidence.
