GOOD TO KNOW
Questions before you begin?
Do I need to install anything?
The main design studio runs in your browser. Optional read-only local machine monitoring uses a separate Mac companion bridge.
Does Vectrivo use paid AI automatically?
No. Current simple prompt-to-design features use offline rules. Paid AI calls are disabled.
Will it change my original STL?
No. The editor previews changes on a separate copy and requires approval before exporting transformed geometry.
Can it operate my printer, CNC, or laser?
Not directly. Device features are limited to profiles and supported read-only monitoring. Use trusted machine-control software with a qualified operator present.
YOUR NEXT PROJECT IS WAITING

Project files keep the selected template and editable measurements on your device.
For an insert, enter the opening width, height, and corner radius, then the gap you want on each side. The preview and exports show the finished part. Use zero clearance for a full-size blank.
Interior fit mockups. Measure the opening and check how the part will attach.
Describe your project and select Generate. This starter engine recognizes supported shapes and dimensions but does not invent complex 3D geometry.
VISUAL INSPECTOR + MODEL EDITOR
Design Inspector — Check Your Model
Upload a supported design to review its structure, dimensions and limited mesh problems before exporting. It checks specific file and geometry issues but does not certify manufacturability. Your original file is never changed.
● No AI API calls
No file selected · 3MF up to 12 MiB; other files up to 5 MB · STL / 3MF / SVG / project JSON
Quick training: inspect, position and export a 3D copy
Upload a supported binary STL or restricted 3MF mesh. Confirm the expected dimensions; STL does not declare units.
Expand Precise adjustments. Enter printer dimensions under Print Preparation, then use Center on bed, axis-aligned Lay flat or Auto-fit. These are proposals, not slicer validation.
Preview changes and review the final dimensions and geometry findings. Each valid preview adds a history step; the original upload stays intact.
Re-run printability analysis for the edited copy. Review the pre-export report, which reparses the actual STL bytes.
Approve the copy and download STL or OBJ. Import it into your slicer, verify dimensions, orientation and support requirements, and slice independently.
OBJ carries mesh geometry only, without printer profiles, textures, supports or material settings. Bambu/bridge operation and physical hardware compatibility have not been tested in this preview.
Choose that mesh above. For STL, use millimeter coordinates. For 3MF, Vectrivo imports supported mesh geometry and converts declared units to millimeters.
Enter the overall dimensions of the exported body in the same X, Y and Z orientation. Compare the imported mesh before changing its scale or placement.
Upload a supported mesh to compare its bounds.
This compares the original mesh bounds. It does not check machining safety or preserve CAD features. Keep STEP files and feature history in SolidCraft.
What does Design Inspector check?
For STL and supported 3MF meshes: mesh structure, selected triangle problems, and preview-based measurements. 3MF models are converted into temporary STL geometry; material colors, textures and print settings are not preserved. For SVG and supported project JSON: limited structural checks and suggestions. Only approved supported corrections are applied to a separate copy.
It cannot: verify wall thickness, repair arbitrary geometry, certify printability, generate safe CNC toolpaths, or inspect DXF yet. For example, it can flag duplicate STL triangles but cannot tell whether a tray pocket is safely machinable with your cutter.
Upload STL, a supported mesh-only 3MF, SVG, or project JSON to inspect its structure. DXF is not analyzed yet. Complex SVG paths and advanced STL geometry still require external CAD tools.
3D mesh inspection preview v16

Upload a binary STL to preview. Detected issue edges (if any)
Original / proposed changes
Only duplicate and zero-area triangle cleanup may be proposed. Review original above and proposed copy below. Changes require explicit approval, and neither preview establishes printability.
Model positioning & scaling v27.3
Preview edits to a temporary copy. Numbers are in STL file units (assumed mm). Download only after reviewing the changes.
Editor sections
Interactive 3D controlsMove · Rotate · Scale
Quick axis selection
Choose an axis, then drag anywhere within the 3D viewer. No need to find a small handle.
Axis selection works in Move mode. Other modes use their handles. For an end-on axis, drag vertically.
Choose Move, Rotate Z, or Uniform Scale, enable handles, and drag a colored grip. Each completed drag creates one Undo/Redo step.
Quick bed preparationProposals use STL file units, assumed mm. Each action previews a separate copy and adds one Undo step.
Use printer dimensions in Print Preparation. Lay Flat uses estimated flat bed contact, not guaranteed adhesion or support-free printing.
Position X/Y places the final rotated bounding-box center. Lift Z places its bottom. Empty fields are invalid; use 0 for no movement or rotation, and 1 for unchanged scale.
Transformation historyUndo · Redo
History: original · 1 of 1
Original STL is unchanged. Enter adjustments and preview.
Surface measurementPick two points · Straight-line distance
Click two visible model surfaces to measure their straight-line 3D distance (STL file units, assumed mm). Orbit controls are paused while measuring. This is not a geodesic or wall-thickness measurement.
Measurement is off. Load an STL, then start to select two surface points.
Export & approvalApprove · Download
Pre-export validation
A report appears automatically when you preview an edited STL. Review the dimensions, fit and warnings before approving. Measurement never requires export approval. A fit check is not a printability certification.
Upload an STL and preview a transformation to prepare the export report.
No edited STL is ready to export. Measurement does not require approval. To export an edit, make a change and select Preview changes.
This is geometry editing, not CAM or slicer validation. STL units are unspecified; rotation and scaling may change tolerances, supports and printability. Re-run printability checks after each preview.
Visual print preparation v21
Local, heuristic estimates only. Confirm STL units and printer dimensions before checking.
Local to this browser only; not synced to your account.
Analysis resultsRecommendations · Bed contact · Warnings
Suggested starting orientation
Selecting a preview changes the view, not the uploaded STL.
Bed contact will be estimated after analysis. Flat contact does not guarantee adhesion.
Select a printer, confirm dimensions, and run analysis. Orientations and the build box are visualization aids.
Verify units, bed size and orientation, then analyze.
The transparent box is the selected nominal rectangular build volume, not a validated printable region. No automatic wall-thickness inspection or support simulation. Green highlights show flat bed-contact candidates; orange highlights show downward-facing support candidates. Overhang overlay assumes mesh winding is correct. Verify in your slicer before printing.
Proposed repaired copy v17
Compare with the original model above. The proposed copy is not saved or approved yet.
Scope: This is a conservative offline inspector, not AI certification or a CAD repair service. Arbitrary hole filling, self-intersections, wall thickness, DXF repair, CNC safety, and machine/toolpath validation remain outside the current inspector.

Each save creates a new copy with your original file and edits. Download local project files for an offline backup.
Quick training: sketch and SVG editing
For a photo or logo, upload the raster image and adjust threshold, invert, detail and physical width. Preview softness changes the display only.
Use manual vertex correction or preview cleanup. Originals stay available; proposals do not change SVG/DXF exports until you approve.
Save a sketch project to retain analysis pixels and current geometry. Keep the full-resolution upload separately.
For supported vector artwork, open SVG outlines: import and edit. Import a file with physical units and a matching viewBox. Move, scale or snap a selected contour, then approve after reviewing.
Save vector projects separately from raster-sketch projects. Reopen them to continue editing. Account saving is not connected in the offline demo.
Import exported geometry into CAD/CAM or LightBurn and verify size, topology and machining/laser settings before fabrication.
Unsupported SVG curves, styles and transforms are rejected. The local preview does not establish cutter access, kerf, collision clearance or machine readiness.
SVG outlines: import and edit
Import closed linear M/L/H/V/Z paths, polygons, unrounded rectangles, circles and ellipses. Explicit physical dimensions and a matching viewBox are required. Curves from circles/ellipses become polygons. Scripts, resources, CSS, transforms, open paths and Bézier/arc path commands are rejected. Original geometry stays available; this is not a complete CAD editor.
Move distances and grid spacing use the selected units. Scaling preserves proportions. Transforms must stay inside the imported viewport. Grid origin is top-left; Y points down. Inter-contour topology and tool clearance are not verified.
Import geometry to begin. Aspect ratio is preserved.
Local geometry processing only. Source XML is never mounted into the page.
Exports stay unchanged until edits are approved.
Vector projects save original/approved/proposed coordinate geometry and dimensions locally. New files retain the original SVG as a separate checksum-verified attachment; editing still uses geometry only. Legacy files have no source attachment. Account storage is not included. Circle and ellipse polygons are approximate, with a nominal 0.05 mm chord tolerance at import size.
Save or reopen a sketch project
Saves the analyzed image (up to 400 px), dimensions, conversion settings and vector edits in a local file. New project files include the original source when available; legacy files retain analysis pixels only. Use Private editable projects when it is available to save a copy to your account.

Sketch settings
Adjust and see the changes immediately
Higher detail can preserve more fine lines but increases contour count and processing time. Review all outlines in CAD/CAM before cutting.
Best results: high-contrast logos, silhouettes and line art. Photographs become simplified black-and-white sketches, not artistic AI drawings.

Vector cleanup inspector
Preview proposed smoothing before approving. Your original raster and traced contours are preserved.
Smoothing is opt-in and may reject sharp corners or significant area changes. These are still polygon approximations, not true CAD splines or certified toolpaths.
Upload an image and choose CNC / cut outline to inspect the vectors.
Vector exports use the original traced outlines until you approve cleanup.
Geometry Inspector · experimental
Review possible self-contacts, degenerate geometry and narrow contours in the currently displayed vector outline. Diagnostic only; no automatic path modification.
Upload an image to inspect vector contours.
Issues will appear as red markers on the CNC outline preview.
Correct vector outlines manually
Drag a vertex in the single CNC outline preview, or select it and enter exact coordinates. Coordinates use the displayed unit, measured from the image’s top-left (Y down). On touch screens, close this editor to pan the outline. Changes are proposals until approved. Tool clearance and contact between separate contours are not checked.
Coordinate units: mm
Original pixels and traced outlines remain available. Up to 12 edits can be undone in this session.
Important: These are image-derived geometries, not validated toolpaths. CNC cuts need cutter-offset compensation, vector cleanup, CAM setup, simulation and operator verification in gSender. Lasers require correct speed, power and kerf settings. Image-derived outlines may be jagged or contain unsuitable internal islands. G-code generation stays disabled.
