Professional STL File Editor with Advanced Face Control

Split, scale, and transform STL files with precision face selection and normal control. Visualize face normals, flip orientations, rotate selected faces, and organize your 3D models. Perfect for OpenFOAM mesh preparation, 3D printing, and CAD workflows.

STL Tools

Professional tools for working with STL files

STL Combiner

Merge multiple STL files into one unified 3D model

Combine separate STL files into a single model. Perfect for assembling multi-part designs and organizing complex 3D printing projects.

ASCII to Binary

Convert STL files from ASCII to compact binary format

Reduce file sizes by up to 75% while maintaining identical geometry. Binary STL files load faster and transfer more efficiently.

Binary to ASCII

Convert STL files from binary to human-readable ASCII format

Make STL files human-readable for debugging, manual editing, and educational purposes. View geometry data as text.

Perfect For

Designed for engineers, researchers, and makers

OpenFOAM Mesh Preparation

Prepare STL files for CFD simulations by separating different boundary surfaces and controlling face orientations. Visualize and flip normals to ensure correct boundary conditions, rotate patches to match flow directions, and organize surfaces for snappyHexMesh processing.

3D Printing Projects

Split complex 3D models into separate components, scale models to fit printer beds, and control surface orientations. Visualize normals to check face directions, flip surfaces for proper support, and rotate parts for optimal printing orientation.

CAD & Mesh Validation

Validate exported STL files from CAD software and control face orientations for analysis. Visualize normals to verify surface directions, fix orientation issues by flipping faces, and prepare geometry for FEA and CFD preprocessing workflows.
