About this gig
Do you have a broken STL file, noisy 3D scan mesh, or non-manifold 3D model that needs clean, solid geometry?
I specialize in 3D mesh cleanup, mesh repair, and mesh-to-solid conversion. I turn raw 3D scans, high-polygon meshes, and corrupted STL files into clean, closed, watertight solid 3D models suitable for engineering and 3D printing.
Services offered:
Mesh cleanup, smoothing, and hole filling
High-poly to low-poly optimization & decimation
Mesh to solid body conversion (STL to STEP/IGES)
Fixing non-manifold geometry & self-intersecting faces
Reverse engineering 3D scan meshes into parametric models
Preparing clean 3D models for additive manufacturing
Deliverables include:
Watertight solid CAD files (STEP, IGES, SLDPRT)
Cleaned, optimized mesh files (STL, OBJ)
Error-free manufacturing-ready models Software used:
SolidWorks
AutoCAD
Why work with me:
Expert mesh diagnosis and geometry correction
Precise solid surface creation from complex meshes
Fast turnaround with guaranteed file integrity Send your STL or mesh file today for a quick review and quote!
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

I am a mechanical CAD designer specializing in reverse engineering and 3D scan conversion. I help engineers, product designers, and manufacturers convert point clouds, STL meshes, and physical prototypes into parametric, manufacturing-ready 3D CAD models. Using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and SketchUp, I deliver accurate STEP, IGES, and native CAD files tailored for CNC machining, 3D printing, and product development. My focus is on delivering exact dimensions, clean geometry, and production-ready files.
FAQ
What is the difference between mesh repair and mesh to solid?
Mesh repair fixes errors in an existing STL/OBJ mesh (filling holes, fixing inverted normals) to make it printable. Mesh-to-solid converts the polygonal mesh into a true CAD solid model (STEP/IGES) for parametric engineering
Can you convert a high-poly 3D scan into a lightweight CAD solid?
Yes, I decimate high-density scan meshes and reconstruct clean NURBS surfaces or parametric features to create a smooth, lightweight CAD solid body.
How do I know if my STL file is corrupt or broken?
Common issues include holes in the surface, non-manifold edges, self-intersecting faces, or 3D printers refusing to slice the file. Send me your file and I will run a free diagnostic.
What software do you use for mesh editing and solid conversion?
I utilize advanced CAD modeling and reverse engineering software including SolidWorks and AutoCAD to clean up meshes and generate precise solid geometry.
Will my converted solid model be suitable for 3D printing or CNC?
Yes, all processed models are checked for structural integrity and geometric accuracy, making them fully ready for 3D printing, slicing, or CNC toolpathing.
