File Repair & Modification
Correct mesh problems, change dimensions, move holes, add or remove features, thicken weak areas, resize a model, or prepare an existing file for manufacturing.
Modify My FileDesign & CAD
CAD development and design support for manufacturable parts.
Start with an existing file, a sketch, a photo, a damaged part, basic dimensions, or an idea. Obsidra can help create, repair, or modify the model before manufacturing.
Start with what you have
A finished file is not required.
STL, STEP, STP, 3MF, OBJ, or ZIP files
Sketches and marked-up screenshots
Photos from multiple angles
Basic dimensions
Drawings
Damaged or existing samples
Written descriptions
CAD support
Choose the design support your project needs.
New Part Modeling
Create a practical CAD model from a sketch, measurements, photographs, a damaged sample, or a clearly described requirement.
Create My ModelPrototype Development
Combine CAD work, prototype manufacturing, fit evaluation, revisions, and a final manufacturing version within one project.
Develop a PrototypeManufacturing preparation
Designed for the next step.
A model should not only look correct on screen. It must also account for the intended process, material, wall thickness, clearances, assembly, orientation, and real use. We review these factors before manufacturing.
FAQ
Design & CAD questions.
Can you modify an STL file?
Often, yes. STL files are mesh files and can be more difficult to edit precisely than STEP files, but we can review the file and explain what is practical.
Can you model a part from photographs?
Many simple parts can be modeled from clear photographs and measurements. More complex or precision-critical parts may require a physical sample or additional dimensions.
What file type is best for design changes?
STEP or native CAD files are generally preferable for precise modifications. STL and OBJ files may require additional reconstruction.
Can you design and manufacture the same part?
Yes. Design work, prototype manufacturing, revisions, and final parts can be handled as one project.
