Automated quote pipelines
Client uploads STL → your quote tool ingests → IncudoCAD heals and converts en route → CAD-Native STEP lands in your quote engine for accurate wall thickness, volume, and cost. No human touch. No quote delays.
Hosted REST API for CAD geometryMesh in. CAD-Native STEP out.
Mesh in. CAD-Native STEP out.
One endpoint.
Heal broken files and convert between STL, OBJ, 3MF, STEP, and IGES through one API — including the hard one: malformed mesh into CAD-Native STEP.

§02 Problem
The tax on broken input.
A client sends an STL. It's non-manifold, has self-intersections, and your quote-generation pipeline can't calculate wall thickness or volume. Someone on your team opens MeshLab or Netfabb, babysits the file for 20–40 minutes, and tries again.
Multiply that by every job this week — that's the tax your shop is paying on broken input, and it scales linearly with order volume.
01Client uploadSTL or OBJ, dropped into your intake
02Broken fileNon-manifold edges, holes, self-intersections
03Ops engineer stuck20–40 min in MeshLab or Netfabb, per file
04Quote delayedCustomer waits. Margin walks.
Scan-to-CAD dies in cleanup.
For design, inspection, or reverse-engineering, someone has to close holes, fix non-manifold edges, and force it into something a CAD kernel will accept — Geomagic, MeshLab, manual stitching. That cleanup loop is where scan-to-CAD work goes to die.
The cost is silent and persistent: senior engineers babysitting cleanup queues instead of designing, scans rejected downstream because the file isn't watertight, jobs delayed because the mesh→IGS/STEP conversion failed in three places no one wants to find.
01Upload the scanDrop the raw mesh straight from the scanner (STL, OBJ, 3MF, PLY).
02Heal automaticallyHoles closed, non-manifold edges fixed, watertight topology rebuilt.
03Convert to CAD-Native STEPReal CAD geometry your kernel will accept — not a faceted STEP wrapper.
04Use it anywherePipe straight into SOLIDWORKS, Fusion, NX, or your CAM stack.
Files arrive broken. Quotes can't wait.
Customer files come in every format — STL, OBJ, 3MF, STEP, IGES — and most are broken in ways that block CAM and quoting. Faceted STEP that won't tool-path. IGES that's lost its topology. Meshes with holes you don't see until the toolpath fails. Engineers burn hours healing files before a job can even be priced.
That's setup time you can't bill, quote turnaround you can't compress, and rework you can't predict — a tax paid on every job before the spindle moves.

04Quote and machineHand a clean file to CAM in seconds, not engineer-hours.
§03 How it works
Three steps. One endpoint.
POST your file, get geometry back in the format you asked for. No CLI, no SDK install, no license negotiation.
01 / POST your file
STL, OBJ, 3MF in.
Upload directly to our edge — no CLI, no SDK install. One HTTP call.
02 / We heal and convert
Deterministic solvers first.
Neural reconstruction when you opt in with use_neural=true. Never always-on.
03 / Get CAD-Native STEP
Or any format you ask for.
STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, or 3MF out — caller picks. Confidence score on every response. Below threshold → flagged, not shipped.

§04 Proof
Measured, not marketed.
We publish benchmarks against public CAD corpora. Beta customers get early access to the numbers; full public release after engine deploy.

Benchmarks land post-beta. We publish them when they're real.
§05 Use cases
Where it pays for itself.
Four shapes the API takes inside a real shop pipeline. Pick whichever matches your bottleneck — same endpoint, different return formats.
CAM / slicer prep
Stop wasting slicer minutes on non-manifold scraps. Feed raw client files through IncudoCAD first; the slicer gets geometry it can actually plan tool paths against.
Intake triage
Auto-flag incoming files that need manual attention before a human opens them. Confidence-score fallback routes low-confidence files to your ops queue and lets the rest flow straight through.
Format bridging & scan-to-CAD
Client sends a STEP, your printer needs 3MF. Scanner returns a noisy OBJ, your CAM needs CAD-Native STEP. IncudoCAD bridges any pair through one endpoint — including the hard mesh → CAD-Native STEP step nobody else automates at this price.
§06 How we're different
One platform. Three layers.
Healing is the entry pain. Format interop is the breadth. The mesh → CAD-Native STEP step is the moat.
01 / Moat
Mesh → CAD-Native STEP, automated.
The hard one nobody else automates at this price. SOLIDWORKS 2025 has manual mesh-to-CAD conversion in the desktop app — you click through segmentation, one file at a time. Spatial sells it as an SDK add-on. IncudoCAD does it headless, in one API call, at pipeline speed.
02 / Breadth
One API. Five formats. Both directions.
STL, OBJ, 3MF, STEP, and IGES — read and write, healed in the same call. Spatial and Tech Soft 3D license C++ SDKs to software vendors for five- and six-figure annual deals; you don't need to build an app around a library to bridge formats. One endpoint, usage-based, no license negotiation.
03 / Trust
Trust is the product.
Every response includes a confidence score. If we can't heal a file above threshold, the API flags it for manual review instead of silently shipping broken geometry. Your quote pipeline never sends a customer a bad number.
§07 Pricing
Usage-based. No seats, no SDK license.
Two paths through the same endpoint. Default is deterministic and CPU-bound. Neural is opt-in only.
Tier 01
Standard Healing
- Trigger
- Default path · CPU
- Use case
- Topological errors, non-manifold edges, hole filling, standard meshes.
- Engine
- Deterministic solvers — Rust + OpenCascade core.
Tier 02
Neural Reconstruction
- Trigger
- Explicit opt-in via
use_neural=true - Use case
- Scan-captured meshes, disastrous input, geometry recovery beyond deterministic solvers.
- Engine
- Serverless GPU. Off by default.

§10 FAQ
Questions you'd ask in a sales call.
Same answers, no calendar invite. If yours isn't here, mail team@incudocad.com.
Every call returns a confidence score in [0, 1]. Files below threshold are flagged for manual review rather than silently returned — so your quote pipeline never ships bad geometry. [benchmark: accuracy across Thingi10K/ABC — pending].
Usage-based pricing — no seats, no SDK license, no minimums. Two tiers: Standard Healing (default) and Neural Reconstruction (explicit opt-in). Per-call pricing locks after beta; contact us for beta pricing.
SOLIDWORKS 2025 ships manual mesh-to-CAD conversion in its desktop GUI — you segment facets by hand, file by file. IncudoCAD is the API version: one endpoint, headless, wires into your existing quote pipeline.
Spatial and Tech Soft 3D sell C++ SDKs to software vendors who embed them in an app. IncudoCAD is a hosted REST API you call directly from your quote tool. You don't need to build an app around us.
Files are processed on dedicated infrastructure and deleted from storage after processing completes. [security page: detailed data handling + retention policy — pending]. Happy to sign an NDA for specific workflows.
Yes. Start with the free Web UI — drag and drop a broken file, download CAD-Native STEP. When you're ready to automate intake, switch to the API. Same engine, same pricing tiers.
