Breakspot is an on-device 3D print strength estimate for iPhone and iPad. Import an STL, 3MF, OBJ, PLY, or AMF, paint where the part sits and where the load lands, and see likely hotspots. This is a linear estimate, not a lab test, not a predicted breaking load, and not a certificate that a part is safe. Safety-critical use is not allowed. The demo shelf bracket stays free. One analysis on your own part is free. Breakspot Pro is $4.99/month for unlimited analyses. No account. Parts are not uploaded to Kick-Start.ai servers.
