Module VisCAM Mesh
VisCAM Mesh is the ideal software solution for the complete preparation of your STL files for
Rapid Prototyping and CAx applications.
The appealing and very fast visualisation, the simple and easy-to-use user interface, very
advanced and highly-automated functions as well as the comprehensive and complete set of
functions at a comparatively small price let become VisCAM the first choice for your STL data
preparation.
With VisCAM Mesh you can detect and fix errors and defects in STL files very easy, fast and
comprehensive. The repair of defective STL files usually takes only some minutes. Moreover
VisCAM Mesh allows the direct editing and manipulation of STL files with CAD like functions.
Smaller design changes or adaptions on the part geometry can therefore be done directly on the
STL data without the need of taking the often tedious way back over a CAD system.
VisCAM Mesh contains the freeware VisCAM View system as base module for the visualisation,
measuring and annotation of STL files.
