What do you like best about MeshLab?

The ability to repair and make adjustments to models using filters. There are several built-in filters that make modifying models quick and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeshLab?

I dislike the interface and lack of many options other 3D modelling software possess. Something similar to Blender is definitely overkill, but an extra pane for more buttons wouldn't hurt, in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MeshLab:

While I'm not too familiar with using MeshLab strictly for 3D modelling purposes, it is definitely great for repairing models and making adjustments to them. Meshlab offers several built-in filters to make quick changes to a model. I highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MeshLab solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm using MeshLab mostly to make minor adjustments to my 3D models, including repairing them, for 3D printing. MeshLab has allowed me to increase the speed of my workflow to get a 3D model printable faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MeshLab?

Stability and flexibility of software. You can do a lot things there and find new awesome ways to solve problems. This software supports many formats. You can import it as many as you need and work with then in any way you need. Batching is one of most important aspects of software. You can make complex python script with many steps, and it will execute just fine! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeshLab?

Doesn't understand .jpeg textures. It's really frustrating, because primary textures I use in my 3D models is based on .jpeg .jpg and etc. Sometimes it hangs because of unknown reasons. For example you need to reproject texture from scan to retoped model and it just crashes. So I'm not really pleased about it. Sometimes certain workflows with pointcloud doesn't work well. So I have to switch from Meshlab to other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MeshLab:

Meshlab is a great tool to achieve high quality results fast. It requires some knowledge on filters and workflows, but it's easy to crack it. It's possible to implement this software into other software or cloud server. Getting creative with software it's possible to make simple lowpoly 3D models printable. Working with cloud data and using poisson reconstruction gives you more flexibility on scanned mesh detail and etc. So I highly recommend using this software! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MeshLab solving and how is that benefiting you?

Refining scan data, doing smoothing, texture projection from one asset to another. Batch scripting for large amount of models. It's just easier than using 3ds max or other softwares. Also working with volumetric video require hundreds of frames to be refined, decimated and etc. So just build script that does it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MeshLab?

The BEST thing about Meshlab is how fast it works. Many of the tools are more efficient than similar tools in expensive programs. I like how easy it is to install. I enjoy being able to voluntarily donate to Meshlab in amounts that i can afford. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeshLab?

The lack of a easy to access view orientation is annoying. If polygonal files could be aligned to a coordinate system based on native or imported surfaces it would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MeshLab:

Download it. Install it. Learn it from the YouTube tutorials. Then DONATE to them to keep it working and affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MeshLab solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fast importing, defeaturing, making watertight. flipping normals, decimating and flattening into a single layer are all things that are easily accomplished Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MeshLab?

The user interface is quite convenient and intuitive to use and play around. Visual effects are good, I ended up using the images from MeshLab for many of my presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeshLab?

Few years ago when I used it, I mainly used it like a third party software to further process my mesh and polish it. Some other steps to edit geometry still require to be done in solidworks for example. I am not sure of the most updated functions it can provide at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MeshLab solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used this to refine/smoothen my mesh for better surface quality, and better general geometry before importing into Solidworks. I found this function of MeshLab to edit the whole entity is very convenient (but not sure about its ability to edit selective parts of the geometry), and the visual affects are great for showing in presentation.

What do you like best about MeshLab?

Programs interface is very simple. Setting stl. format (whic I used) is as simple as processing and working on it. The program has many features that simplify the work and allow you to create wanted object, model, etc. I like MashLab because in it you can close 3D point cloud, delete them or even transfer them somwhere elese. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeshLab?

Sometimes when i want to close 3D point cloud it wont close or it closes with too much extra points which than i have to process extra. It has some bugs in system in some functions which dont work or it shots down the entire program without saving any document or specific part thah has been worked on that point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MeshLab:

I definitely recommend it to student and professors working on some 3D objects (scanned human body, scanned object, etc.). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MeshLab solving and how is that benefiting you?

I had the task of closing points of scanned human body, deleting excess points and preparing for transfer to the next program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MeshLab?

It's an easy-to-use instrument to alter and fix STL records so I can print them on our 3D Printing gadget. I like being able to utilize this computer program on any low-income computer, since it may be a exceptionally light program that can run on nearly all working frameworks. The instruments are exceptionally straightforward to utilize and are fantastically valuable with all three-dimensional protest groups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeshLab?

Meshlab route is exceptionally harsh and it is troublesome to move the 3D protest on the stage, a point I don't like is that you can not make 3D objects from scratch, it as it were permits you to adjust already made objects from other CAD computer program. The program has numerous tools but numerous of them are not utilized since they don't have exceptionally valuable functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MeshLab solving and how is that benefiting you?

It upgrades the way I work with 3D shapes, presenting to me a other way of changing objects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MeshLab?

It's an easy-to-use tool to edit and patch STL files so I can print them on our 3D Printing device, I just love MeshLAB. The software facilitates the process, I often download 3D objects I need to modify. You can learn and help very easily the tools that this software offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeshLab?

The navigation on meshing is very rough, and the move of the 3D object onto a platform is difficult. One point that I don't like is that you can't create 3D-objects from scratch. The program has many tools, but many are not used because the features of the program are not very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MeshLab:

On a low-end computer, you can use this program. Before reading, make sure you read all the instructions you need to set it up to save time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MeshLab solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have managed to change most 3D objects with this program since I deal with 3D printing, which allows me a lot to alter parts. Those who are unable to design CAD use it extensively in my company as 3D models for 3D printing can be returned with this technology. Meshlab helped us to solve our 3D images problems. It simplifies the editing. We liked the repair tool very much. We can render an object to make it softer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MeshLab?

I really like MeshLab because it is a simple tool that helps me repair and modify STL files so I can print them with 3D printers. It's great to use this software because I constantly work with 3D printers and I usually download 3D objects and need to modify them. I like being able to use this software on any low-income computer, since it is a very light program that can run on almost all operating systems. The tools are very simple to use and are incredibly useful with all three-dimensional object formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeshLab?

Meshlab navigation is very rough and it is difficult to move the 3D object on the platform, a point I do not like is that you can not create 3D objects from scratch, it only allows you to modify previously made objects from other CAD software. The program has many tools but many of them are not used since they do not have very useful functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MeshLab:

I recommend that all MeshLab users use this software only to modify 3D objects, for those who want to create 3D objects from scratch, I recommend that they abstain and use other CAD software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MeshLab solving and how is that benefiting you?

Thanks to this software I have been able to modify many 3D objects, since I work with 3D printing helps me a lot to modify parts. People who do not know how to design with CAD also use it a lot in my company since with this software 3D objects suitable for 3D printing can return. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
