Check 3d Models for Errors before 3d
Printing in 3ds Max
TUTORIALS
In this tutorial I will be showing you how to check your 3d models for errors before
sending them for 3d printing job or
Stereolithography.
If you are going to print a 3d model
for the first time then you should know few things before proceeding to the next step.
3d models, especially highly dense meshes, seem visually correct but they may contain
errors that can cause problems so; It’s very important to do a quick check before 3d
printing rather than encountering the errors in the final print itself then jump back into the
3d software to correct the errors.

What is Stereolithography or 3d Printing?
Stereolithography
is a process of creating physical three dimensional objects with the
help of 3d printing device and 3d CAD data as the input.
In this process, a 3d printing device or the 3d printer carves a selected material layer by
layer with the help of laser beams to create a final 3d printed piece.
The STL Check Modifier
There is a modifier in the modifier list called
STL check
which is designed to check if the
selected 3d model is ready to be exported as STL file format.

To check your model for errors, first select it; then go to
Modify Panel
and apply
STL
Check
modifier from the modifier list. Under STL Check modifier’s
Parameters
rollout
you can select the errors given inside the
Errors
group.
Open Edge
It checks for the open edges in the mesh.
Double faces
It detects the faces sharing the same 3d space in the mesh.
Spike
It searches for the spikes or isolated faces in the mesh.
Multiple Edges
It detects the faces that share more than one edge with each other.

STL Check modifier’s other Options
Under the
Selections
group you can select the edges or faces around the defected area
of the mesh using
Select Edges / Faces
option.
Don’t Select
option lets the error point unselected.
Change Mat-ID
You can assign a unique material id to the faces involve in the error using this option.
Enable the
Check
option to let the modifier search for the errors. All the detected errors
can be seen in the
Status
group.
I hope you have enjoyed this tip. Stay tuned for more tutorials.
