Repair process flow diagram
The repair process automatically scans your 3D model for printing issues and fixes them — all while preserving your colors, textures, and details.

​
What repair does

  • Fills holes and gaps in the surface so your model is completely sealed
  • Thickens thin walls that would break during printing
  • Removes floating debris and disconnected fragments
  • Fixes surface errors like inside-out faces and overlapping geometry
  • Optimizes geometry to reduce file size without losing visible detail
  • Calculates volume and dimensions for cost estimation

​
Repair stages

When you start a repair, you see a progress bar moving through these stages:
  1. Uploading — Sending your model to our servers
  2. Analyzing geometry — Scanning for structural issues
  3. Detecting issues — Identifying thin walls, holes, and non-printable areas
  4. Applying fixes — Automatically repairing all detected issues
  5. Optimizing — Reducing complexity while preserving detail
  6. Validating — Final check to ensure print-readiness
  7. Generating report — Creating the AI fix report
The entire process usually takes 30 seconds to 5 minutes depending on model complexity and the quality level you choose.
You can cancel a repair at any time by clicking the Cancel button on the progress overlay. Your original model is never modified.

​
What happens after repair

Once complete, you’re taken to the repair detail page where you can:
  • View the AI fix report explaining what was found and fixed
  • Compare the original and repaired models side by side
  • Download the result in OBJ, STL, GLB, or 3MF
  • Open the repaired model in the 3D editor for further modifications
