In this post i will explain how to repair STL file with Meshlab and Nettfabb. Sometimes we have a problem open these STL Files. I tried to open STL File in SolidWorks but there is always error, such as some surfaces are interfacing each other or some gaps in STL file. What i found, it is easy to repair with meshlab and with nettfabb. I hope so it helps.
First step
- Open Meshlab
- Load the STL File
- Select the Filters Menu > Cleaning and Repairing > Select Self Intersecting Faces
- And it pops up a window press Apply
- It shows up Self interfacing faces and it is like below
- After then you should delete the Interfacing Faces with press Del button
- And save this STL file
