The STL file format is the most widely used file type in 3D printing. All modern CAD (Computer Aided Design) software allows you to export their native file format STL or SLC.
An STL file represents a 3D model by approximating its outer surfaces using multiple triangles. These triangles form a 3D mesh of points, edges, and surfaces. This mesh defines the internal volume of the model.
An STL file can be 3D printed if each edge is connected to exactly two faces (manifolds). This way the 3D model is represented accurately and without any ambiguity.
As you can see in the photo, the triangles in our model are not connected correctly. This can make slicing impossible and can result in a direct error in the print result.
With Magics, you can give the right command to remove the imperfections of our model and make the design suitable for the 3D printer.
