What do you like best about Meshmixer?

I consider that a very complete design program and easy to use, with it I can modify 3D designs which I find very useful also if I download a STL file and is damaged with meshmixer I can repair it which makes it my favorite design program is very easy to use so you do not have much knowledge in design with meshmixer anyway you can make your 3D projects, also has many tools to work what helps a lot when making a project, the ability to make supports in the design really helps a lot, and the tool to soften textures is perfect if you find yourself making a video game, is a very complete and useful program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meshmixer?

I really think that meshmixer is perfect there is nothing I dislike about it, although I would say that sometimes if a file is very heavy the program does not let me work, but otherwise I think the program is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meshmixer:

If you are looking for a 3D design program that allows you to repair files, soften textures or even improve a 3D design, meshmixer is the perfect program, it is a very easy to use and quite complete program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Currently I find myself using meshmixer to make supports for my 3D designs, with the tool to soften textures I have managed to create better designs, thus achieving the satisfaction of my customers, allowing increasingly larger and more complex projects, in addition I can repair STL files that I download which allows me to work much better and faster.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Meshmixer?

Meshmixer is so easy to use. It comes with magic tools like hollowing and repairing 3d designed objects for 3d printing, You could also use it as a slicer for 3d printing. Meshmixer could get files from Fusion 360 which is one of the best 3d creation software on the market. Meshmixer can handle high surface triangle amounts easily. Thus you could process 3d scan data without problem with Meshmixer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meshmixer?

It is not a CAD software. So keep in mind that you can do only basic operations which are allowed to. 3d model rendering options are also limited. It should get more updates. It might be screwed from time to time depending on the 3d model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meshmixer:

If you are interested in 3d printing, then you should definitely try Meshmixer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I run a small online 3d printing service. Nearly all my customer files go through the Meshmixer. I check the files with it. The faulty files could be corrected automatically by Meshmixer. This saves me a lot of time. Because if I would have returned my customers for every faulty file, then I must have waited for them much longer to process their possible orders.

What do you like best about Meshmixer?

Meshmixer is free, but it has everything I need to edit .STLs and .OBJ. Other free software can do this, but Meshmixer is easier to use. It also has a wide base of users, so getting answers/tutorials online is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meshmixer?

You can't export as a .STEP file, which isn't that big of an issue. The auto-repair and smoothing features have a learning curve. One or two of the interface/buttons annoy me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I model in parametric software, which doesn't let you edit surfaces organically. With Meshmixer, I can model in Solidworks, for example, then drop my model in Meshmixer and "sculpt" the surfaces into more organic shapes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Meshmixer?

Meshmixer can, with practice, help you simplify, combine, and correct models that may not be exactly what you want, but are close. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meshmixer?

It takes some practice to get used to where everything is and how it works. It really requires some time watching videos or reading how to use it properly to use it to its full potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meshmixer:

If you are trying to make minor adjustments to prepare 3D models for printing, MeshMixer is a really helpful tool. If the models you are trying manipulate are highly detailed and you are trying to change those, use a different software to alter the model directly. Also, consider importing .obj files instead of .stl files if your model is really slow. .obj seem to import a bit faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am merging multiple models together, cutting out unnecessary geometry, and occasionally correcting a model that is broken that I wouldn't have been able to make on my own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Meshmixer?

It provides with a very easy to use interface and provides tools which are really helpful for 3D printing. It also provides facility for 3D scan. Also it provides good support for file editing like Mesh repair. The best tool that they provide is the support generator tool that is used for 3D printing that generates images easily. Also the application is STL compatible and 3MF compatible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meshmixer?

When we wish to develop pieces from scratch then the software seems difficult to use. There is no such option to add on to the existing options or develop our own kind of objects. Also when we try to use the 3D tool, it moves slowly and lags sometimes as the cursor does not move at the speed we wish to move it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meshmixer:

I recommend to people who are more involved in 3D designing and printing as it is a really great tool that meets all those reuqirements with an easy to learn interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Meshmixer I have been able to solve my engineering designing problems and visualize them easily. I have also been able to draw 3D objects for my ED assignment. Apart from this I have also used Meshmixer in 3D printing for my portraits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Meshmixer?

It is one of the best 3D design tools, it is amazing how easy and comfortable it is to work with meshmixer, with meshmixer I can repair STL files that I download on the net, also I can soften textures allowing a better finish especially if I want to print it, which makes the work much easier and comfortable, also I think it is a very simple program to use and its tools are very useful, since I use it has made me much easier to make 3D designs, meshmixer is extremely reliable and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meshmixer?

There is nothing that I don't like about meshmixer, in fact I love it, it's the best design program I've used, the easy to use if intuitive interface and it's free is simply the best design program I've used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meshmixer:

I recommend meshmixer if you are looking for a program that allows you to repair STL files to download on the network, or if you want to make figures to print them in 3D, with meshmixer you can support the design and achieve a better design and better print quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use meshmixer because from the first day I started to use it it was very easy for me to design in 3D, besides that any STL file I download if it is damaged with meshmixer I'm sure I can repair it which makes my job much easier, since I use it I'm much more efficient and managed to do better projects in 3D, always being the best in the job.

What do you like best about Meshmixer?

The fact that you can convert any kind of mesh into “solid” is one of the best feature of this software. It really helps you out in 3D printing applications. Also, the possibility to auto orient the model on the build plate in order to optimize supports (and we're talking of tree branches-like supports) is extremelu usefull! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meshmixer?

Sculpting is not one of the best features of this software and personally I think that it should really be improved. Often the software crashes but it save the last usable state of the scene so you can restore it once reopened. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meshmixer:

Check the Normals of your model! Meshmixer will display inverted normals as a flat colour surface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Essentially, fixing 3D models for printing and auto - orientering them on the buildplate in order to reduce the usage of support structures. The principal benefits are the optimization of the whole workflow from modelling to printing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Meshmixer?

I can take a solid object and make it into a stylized mesh and make it easy to print Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meshmixer?

Selecting surfaces is difficult due to the file type, .stl rather than using a .step, for me anyways Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Reducing the amount of time it takes in order to create beautiful printable mesh models. In my case, an orchid pot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
