Pain Points (Public)
Mechanical parts scanned as STL meshes lack the precision and solid model representation required for design and manufacturing workflows, making them unsuitable for direct use in CAD software.
Suggested Approach (Public)
Provide a reliable method or tool to convert batches of STL meshes, specifically from 3D scanners, into high-precision STEP solid models.

How to position
- Target 3D scanner mechanical reverse-engineering workflows where automated STL-to-STEP tools fail to produce high-precision geometric solid bodies.
What to build first
- Build a geometric modeling and mesh analysis pipeline to inspect STL mesh topology and detect boundary surfaces.
