What STLa is for

STLa is aimed at people who need to inspect or repair STL files before printing, sharing, or reusing them.

  • Open STL files from your Mac.
  • Inspect for open edges, non-manifold geometry, and face-direction issues.
  • Run a repair workflow with progress feedback.
  • Save a repaired STL and a JSON report.

Version 1 approach

The current version is intended to stay straightforward and privacy-minimal.

  • No account is required.
  • No third-party analytics are planned for version 1.
  • Files are chosen by the user and handled locally on the Mac.
  • Basic shape creation is available as a secondary workflow.

Good support details

What to include if you need help

  • The STLa version and your macOS version.
  • What you expected to happen.
  • What actually happened.
  • Whether you used a fast, balanced, or more thorough repair path.
  • If possible, a small file or example you can share later by email.
