STL Check

 

It is recommended to verify your digital model before save it in R: drive. Your design will not be printed on time if contains critical problems!

 

1. Run STL CHECK Modifier in 3ds Max. Try reducing the errors.

2. You may use third-party applications such as MESHLAB or NETFABB for the purpose (already installed on school computers).
