Zagnat custom project services
3D Model Repair and Geometry Cleanup
Model repair begins by identifying what is wrong and what must stay unchanged. Zagnat reviews damaged, incomplete or unsuitable geometry for a defined file-delivery or printing objective.

Separate surface repair from design changes
Overlapping shells, missing surfaces and uncertain scale can prevent a model from behaving as expected. Other problems come from the design itself: a feature may be too thin or a mounting hole may be in the wrong position. Explain the symptom and the required result so file cleanup, remodeling and CAD reconstruction can be scoped correctly.
Projects to discuss
- Cleaning up an existing model for an agreed downstream workflow.
- Reviewing incomplete geometry or disconnected model components.
- Preparing a revised digital model before a printing project.
What to send with your request
- The original model and any source file that preceded the export.
- Screenshots or error messages that show the problem.
- Known dimensions, required output format and features that cannot change.
Include the deadline and explain any uncertain requirements. A complete brief helps separate design work, digital deliverables, physical production and delivery arrangements.
From your brief to an agreed result
- Inspect the source and classify the repair or modeling work.
- Agree the geometry to preserve and the changes to make.
- Review the revised file against the required workflow.
Zagnat has a $200 project minimum. It is not a fixed price for every job. Source quality, geometry, size, quantity, finishing and the requested deliverable affect the quote. Feasibility, scope and timing are confirmed for the actual project.
Questions about this service
Is this the same as STL repair?
STL repair is a specific mesh-preparation task. Broader model repair can include reconstruction, design changes or another file format.
Does cleanup restore the original CAD history?
Not automatically. An exported mesh may not contain the information needed to recreate native CAD features.
Can a preview prove the repair is complete?
A preview helps inspect shape and scale. Production suitability depends on additional checks for the intended process.
What should I send first?
Send the actual file, intended dimensions and a short explanation of the failure or change needed.
Start with the details you have
The original model and any source file that preceded the export. Tell us the result you need so we can review the work and the next steps.
