Scan to Mesh.
Mesh to Production.

Fast. Reliable. Precise.

Prepare watertight 3D models with defined tolerances and QA reports, scale effortlessly with automation for massive meshes and point clouds, and integrate into your pipelines and AI-agent workflows — ready for printing, inspection, and simulation.

Free Community plan with commercial use. 30-day trial of every Professional tool, no credit card.

Clean up & Align scans

Import raw scans from any scanner, clean the noise and align them.

Fits between your scanner and your production line

Bring data from any scanner, CT or CAD system, fix and verify it in MeshInspector, and send it on to printing, machining or QA. By hand, by script or by your AI agent.

Why teams switch to MeshInspector

Built on MeshLib SDK, the 3D engine software makers license for their own scanning, dental and metrology products.

Batch work runs without you

Describe a batch job in plain words. Your AI assistant runs it in MeshInspector and shows a screenshot of every step.

Does the work of Meshmixer, MeshLab and an inspection tool

Repair, point clouds, CAD comparison and print preparation in one app. Professional is $790 per user a year.

Safe for patient data and NDA parts

Scans, CT data and meshes never leave your computer, in the desktop app or the web app, on any plan.

FAQs

Yes. The Community plan is free forever, including commercial use, and covers viewing, measuring and repairing models by hand. Every new account starts with a 30-day trial of all Professional tools, no credit card needed, and then stays on the free plan unless you upgrade. Paid plans start at $300 per user a year.

Meshmixer has not been updated since 2018, and Autodesk no longer supports it. MeshInspector covers the same repair work, from one-click repair to hole filling, Booleans and remeshing, keeps getting updates and adds point clouds, CT scans and comparison with CAD. MeshInspector vs Meshmixer

Yes. There are desktop apps for Windows, macOS (Apple silicon and Intel) and Linux, and a web app that runs in your browser with nothing to install. One account and one plan work in both. Python scripting, AI agents and offline work need the desktop app. Download MeshInspector

MeshInspector opens meshes (STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF, glTF), point clouds (E57, LAS, LAZ, PTS, XYZ), CT and other volume data (DICOM, TIFF, RAW, VDB), STEP files, polylines and G-code. STEP files open as meshes, so you can convert STEP to STL, but there is no export back to STEP. Full list of formats

No, with one exception: STEP files opened in the web app are converted to meshes on our server and deleted automatically right after conversion. All other files stay on your computer, on any plan, and the desktop app converts STEP files on your computer too.

Yes, on the Professional plan: once you sign in, the desktop app keeps working without an internet connection for up to 7 days. The trial, Community and Makers need a connection. For computers that never go online, see Enterprise.

Yes. It opens meshes of tens of millions of triangles and point clouds of hundreds of millions of points: Susteni AS turns 400-million-point ship scans into meshes. Above 20 million polygons, plan on 32 to 64 GB of RAM and a graphics card with 6 to 12 GB of memory, or an Apple M-series Pro or Max. System requirements
