+ MESH REPAIR / SCAN-TO-CAD

From mesh.
To engineered.

Scanned or AI-generated.
Prepared for what comes next.

Repair and refine meshes from 3D scans or AI creation tools, or reconstruct suitable geometry as professional CAD. Expert-led work, scoped around your intended use.

Automotive. Robotics. Toys. Tooling. Products.

01 / TWO WAYS FORWARD

The right service.
For your next step.

Need a cleaner mesh or a rebuilt CAD model? Choose the output your project needs. We review the source data and agree the scope before work begins.

01 REPAIR THE MESH

Mesh Repair
& Cleanup

Keep your model as a mesh. We repair and refine STL, OBJ and other mesh data for your intended use, without converting it to STEP.

  • Assess and repair defects in AI-generated meshes, preserving agreed details
  • Remove noise, stray fragments and unwanted scan areas
  • Repair holes, normals and mesh topology issues
  • Smooth surfaces or reduce polygon count to an agreed level
  • Assess geometry for your 3D printing workflow

Delivered as Repaired STL / OBJ, or an agreed mesh format.

Choose mesh repair
02 REBUILD AS CAD

Scan-to-CAD
Reconstruction

Turn scan data into reconstructed CAD surfaces or solids for design, engineering and downstream manufacturing workflows.

  • Reconstruct surfaces and mechanical features
  • Preserve scanned geometry or agree nominal design intent
  • Define critical dimensions and verification requirements
  • Assess native CAD needs for your software and editing workflow

Delivered as STEP or another agreed professional CAD format.

Choose CAD reconstruction

AGREED FOR YOUR PROJECT Mesh repair does not include STEP conversion. Hole filling may require assumptions, and smoothing can change dimensions. Print suitability depends on your process and requirements. STEP does not automatically include native parametric feature history.

02 / REAL PARTS. REAL POSSIBILITIES.

From mechanical detail.
To sculpted form.

AIO STUDIO’s work spans automotive parts, toys, tools, hardware and sculptural forms.

TOOLS & HARDWARE / DEMONSTRATION 01

A cleaner mesh. The same part.

Explore a flange sleeve before and after mesh cleanup. Move the divider to compare missing mesh patches, surface noise and stray fragments with the illustrative repaired result.

Illustrative mesh study — not a client case or measured repair result. Both views use the same synthetic geometry and camera. Actual repairs depend on the source data and agreed scope.

AI-GENERATED 3D / EXAMPLE WORKFLOW

Your AI concept. A considered next step.

For a figurine, sculpture or product concept, we review the actual geometry and agree what needs repair, refinement or rebuilding.

01

Review the mesh

Inspect the untextured model for gaps, connected details and unwanted fragments.

02

Agree the refinements

Identify details to preserve and approve any inferred shapes or local reconstruction.

03

Prepare the deliverable

Deliver the agreed mesh and checks for your intended process. Physical printing or manufacturing validation is separate.

Service workflow illustration — a real AI-model before/after case will be added when approved project material is available.

GEOMETRY LAB / INTERACTIVE STUDY

Turn it. Inspect it.
Understand the geometry.

Explore a synthetic flange sleeve in three dimensions. Switch the display to inspect the surface or its triangular mesh.

04 / FROM SCAN TO DELIVERABLE

Your model.
Our next four steps.

Human expertise at every stage.
A defined scope before work begins.

01

Share the brief

Tell us whether your model comes from a scan or an AI tool, what needs repair or reconstruction, and how you intend to use it.

02

Review & quote

We assess the source data and confirm feasibility, deliverables, price and timing.

03

Repair or rebuild

Our team repairs the mesh or reconstructs CAD geometry against the agreed scope and critical features.

04

Review & deliver

Review the model against the agreed criteria and receive your repaired mesh or CAD files.

THE TEAM BEHIND THE GEOMETRY

Established expertise.

AIO STUDIOREVERSE ENGINEERING & DEVELOPMENT

FormTrace Studio brings AIO STUDIO’s reverse engineering expertise to customers worldwide. You capture the part. We help turn your scan into the mesh or CAD your project needs.

05 / GLOBAL SCANNING PARTNERS

You capture the world.
We handle what’s next.

We’re inviting 3D scanning service providers worldwide to build long-term partnerships with FormTrace Studio. Extend your service from scan capture to repaired meshes and reconstructed CAD.

01 / PARTNER TERMS

Preferred pricing

Discuss partner rates around your project mix, repeat volume and delivery requirements.

02 / PRIORITY HANDLING

A faster path to delivery

Priority assessment and scheduling, with expedited turnaround agreed against scope and capacity.

03 / REPEATABLE WORK

One clear workflow

Agree file requirements, critical features, output formats and review criteria for recurring projects.

Tell us your country, scanning equipment, typical parts, monthly project volume and target turnaround.

Discuss a partnership

Partner pricing and delivery commitments are confirmed individually after project review.

06 / BEFORE YOU BEGIN

A few things
worth knowing.

Can you repair models generated with Meshy, Tripo or other AI tools?+

Yes. We assess exported mesh files from AI creation tools, including Meshy and Tripo. Work may include holes, non-manifold edges, stray fragments and agreed local shape corrections. Send the actual mesh, not only a textured preview, and describe your intended use. UVs, textures, rigging, animation topology and CAD reconstruction are assessed separately; they are not automatically included. Platform names identify possible file sources, not official partnerships.

Can you repair my STL without converting it to STEP?+

Yes. Choose Mesh Repair & Cleanup for a repaired STL or OBJ mesh. If you need CAD surfaces or solids instead, choose Scan-to-CAD Reconstruction. We can help assess which service fits your intended use.

Will a repaired mesh be ready for 3D printing?+

Tell us the printing process, model size and relevant wall-thickness requirements. A closed mesh alone does not guarantee printability. We agree the checks needed for your workflow, and confirm any assumptions when filling missing areas or smoothing surfaces.

Which file formats do you accept?+

We accept STL, OBJ and most mesh formats. Tell us your format and file size in the project brief. We’ll confirm compatibility when reviewing the source data.

Is this an automatic file converter?+

No. Both services are expert-led. We repair your existing mesh or reconstruct CAD geometry according to an agreed project scope.

How much will my project cost?+

Pricing depends on geometry, scan quality, missing areas, required deliverables and verification needs. Each project is reviewed before a fixed scope and quotation are agreed.

Can you guarantee a specific accuracy?+

Accuracy depends on the source scan and available reference measurements. Tell us which dimensions matter. CAD-to-mesh deviation and real-part accuracy are different, and the agreed checks will reflect the data available.

Can I edit the delivered CAD model?+

STEP geometry can be used in compatible CAD systems, but does not automatically carry the original feature history. If you need native parametric features, specify your software and editing requirements for assessment.

What if my scan is incomplete or worn?+

Include photos, reference dimensions and any drawings you have. We’ll review whether missing areas can be reconstructed and agree any assumptions or geometry corrections with you.
