Built for 3D printing

About STLFixer

STLFixer helps you find common STL problems, repair what it can and see what may still need attention.

Why we built STLFixer

An STL can look correct in a thumbnail while still containing broken faces, duplicates or holes. STLFixer shows the problems it finds and lets you compare the model before and after repair.

What you can expect

  • Your file stays private. Your STL is not uploaded to STLFixer.
  • Clear results. You can see which problems were found and what changed.
  • Honest limits. The tool tells you when holes or non-manifold edges still need advanced repair.
  • A simple process. Check, preview, repair and download on one page.

What STLFixer can do today

STLFixer supports binary and ASCII STL files up to 50 MB. It previews the model, finds common problems, removes broken and duplicate faces, refreshes face directions and downloads a repaired STL.

What comes next

Future updates may add stronger hole repair, self-intersection checks and better support for very large models.
