## What is ForgeShape?

ForgeShape aims to rebuild suitable mesh models into CAD solids and save them as STEP. It also checks and repairs 3D models before printing. Viewing, measurement, processing and export all happen on your device, without uploading your models. Available on Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro.

Mesh to Solid

Assess a mesh, reconstruct supported planes, cylinders, cones and spheres, and compare the result with the original. Unrecognized regions remain faceted.

Results depend on the model: a solid with reconstructed surfaces, a faceted solid, or STEP geometry that does not form a solid. The app identifies the result. Exported files contain no original design history and do not guarantee manufacturing readiness.

Check and repair for 3D printing

Open STEP/STP, IGES/IGS, STL, OBJ, binary GLB and 3MF. Models that already contain precise CAD geometry can continue with 3D Repair without rebuilding them. Save repair results as STL or 3MF.

Find open and non-manifold edges, wrong normals, thin walls and overhangs. Self-intersection checks support models up to 500,000 triangles. Repairs include boundary stitching, orientation fixes, small-hole filling, duplicate-face removal and some non-manifold cases.

Compare ordinary repairs before and after. Deep repair tries successive steps and previews shape changes for you to accept. Unresolved issues remain listed. Checks assist print preparation; you still need a slicer. The app does not generate G-code.

View, measure and share

- View models shaded, in wireframe or both, and locate findings that support highlighting.
- Measure supported planar and cylindrical faces in source units. Scale uniformly to a print-size profile and recheck.
- Export PDF, HTML or JSON check reports in English, German, Simplified or Traditional Chinese.

For reconstructing mechanical-part meshes and preparing 3D prints. No ads or registration.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 26.10.23 — 2026-10-21

- Models now open directly in Mesh to Solid. Switch to 3D Repair from the workspace whenever needed. The standalone format conversion workflow has been removed.
- Improved iPhone Duo layouts for closed, open, and partially folded use. When partially folded, the model is shown above and information and controls below.
- Clearer guidance for CAD models such as STEP files, so you can continue directly with 3D Repair.
- Added icons to common menus and improved text layout on narrow screens, at larger text sizes, and across languages, making the app easier to read and use.

### 26.09.22 — 2026-09-21

- Reverse to CAD is now separate from format conversion. After import, choose 3D print check and repair, convert format, or rebuild a mesh as CAD.
- Better reverse reconstruction: cones and spheres are now recognized; cylinders are more accurate; partial surfaces such as half-cylinders follow the real outline; neighboring holes on a plane are kept.
- 3D print repair is more complete: merge part seams, remove extra inner walls, and fill holes more reliably.
- Format conversion names each limit and what it means for the exported file, so you can tell whether the result will work.
- Keyboard shortcuts on Mac and on iPad with a hardware keyboard: Open ⌘O, Export ⌘E, Export PDF report ⌘⇧E, Repair ⌘R.
- Easier touch: buttons and format options are easier to tap, the splitter is easier to drag, tap a repair for details; a numeric keyboard appears when you edit check thresholds.

### 26.09.06 — 2026-09-07

- Export the check as a report: PDF, HTML or JSON, in one of four languages, with figures of the model and of where each issue sits.
- Minimum wall thickness, overhang angle and build volume can be set to match your own printer and material, and restored to the defaults in one action.
- Enter your printer's build volume and the check says whether the model fits as oriented, and whether another orientation would.
- An ordinary repair is now a single step — no separate preview and Apply.
- Fixed an overhang angle that was reported the wrong way round.

### 26.08.25 — 2026-09-01

No release notes.
