Hollowing works best on watertight meshes (run mesh repair first if needed).

What is it? Mesh Hollow offsets a watertight mesh inward to create a shell with a chosen wall thickness, reducing material for 3D printing. Export the result as STL.

TL;DR: Create a hollow shell with a set wall thickness for printing.

How to use

  1. Open a watertight model.
  2. Set the wall thickness.
  3. Preview the shell and download STL.

FAQ

Does the model need to be watertight?

Yes — hollowing requires a closed mesh; repair it first if needed.

Is it local?

Yes, the operation runs in your browser.

Limitations

  • Thin walls relative to detail may self-intersect.
  • Supports one enclosed volume reliably.
