trinckle is designed to prevent erroneous 3D prints
Almost half of all 3D model files contain failures. That’s according to online 3D printing provider trinckle 3D who has just launched a free service for automatic repair of 3D files.
Errors can be caused for a number or reasons such as export faults or imprecise designs and this can be very costly and time consuming when dealing with printing these designs as 3D models.
The tried and tested method for professionals has always been to double check models manually or get service providers to do the same. However, this can waste valuable resources. trinckle’s new 3D repair service does this automatically, fixing common errors in real time.
The browser based service is free to all on trinckle.com and there is no need for registration.
The service is based on algorithms refined by trinckle 3D to match the needs of users at any level. These algorithms analyse the triangle structure within the CAD file and detect logical errors. Errors are then fixed immediately by placing or removing triangles and rotating misdirected normals. The success rate of this service shows that 95% of incorrect files in .stl, .3ds and .ply can be corrected.
The repair service has been built with the user in mind to make it easier for anyone to produce successful 3D files for printing. The automation means no knowledge of repair techniques is required but very rare errors may need to be detected with the naked eye and corrected after the process.
As key providers of 3D printing consultancy, trinckle 3D is focused on finding new and innovative ways to deliver the best quality 3D prints possible.
