About:
Admesh is a command-line tool for processing and analyzing triangulated solid meshes, primarily in STL format. It performs validation, repair, and optimization operations to ensure mesh integrity for 3D printing and CAD applications. The tool provides detailed statistics and can fix common issues like non-manifold edges and inverted normals.
Key Features:
  • Reads and writes binary and ASCII STL files
  • Generates detailed mesh statistics and reports
  • Performs mesh repair operations (fix holes, remove degeneracies)
  • Can merge multiple meshes and perform boolean operations
  • Cross-platform C-based implementation
Use Cases:
  • Validating 3D models before sending to a 3D printer
  • Repairing corrupted STL files from CAD software
  • Analyzing mesh geometry for scientific or engineering applications
  • Converting between STL formats
Alternatives:
  • MeshLab – GUI-based tool with more features but heavier dependency
  • OpenSCAD – Parametric CAD with mesh operations via CGAL
  • Blender – Full 3D suite with mesh tools, overkill for simple STL processing
