Polished renders for Meshmixer STL repair, hollowing, and print-prep views.
Legacy Autodesk mesh editor for STL and OBJ repair, scan cleanup, plane cuts, hollowing, support review, and 3D print-prep presentation

Open or append the mesh in Meshmixer, finish the repair or print-prep step, and frame the object from the angle that explains the final part. Hide the original shell, reference objects, selection highlights, and helper geometry unless the printer bed, cut plane, support structure, thickness cue, or before-and-after comparison is important to the image. Capture a clean viewport of the repaired STL, OBJ, MIX project, or exported mesh preview, then upload it to RENDERCAD for a polished still with clearer lighting, material separation, shadows, and scale cues for reviews, documentation, listings, and sales imagery.
Modeled by CADSharp in Onshape. Rendered with RENDERCAD.

Tired of keeping up with the latest gen AI models? RENDERCAD is powered by a proprietary ensemble of the most cutting-edge AI engines, always up to date and fine-tuned to strictly maintain your design intent.
| Feature | RENDERCAD | Meshmixer viewport |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Real-time desktop mesh viewport with analysis, repair, and print-prep shading |
| Output | Images + Video | Mesh exports and viewport screenshots; not a dedicated photorealistic render pipeline |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Bound by display, screenshot, or image export workflow |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Real-time viewport feedback; mesh repair operations can take longer depending on geometry |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Not designed for rendered animation output |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | Import or append mesh objects, repair with Inspector or Make Solid, adjust object visibility, materials, printer bed, supports, and cut views |
| Input | Screen Snip | Mesh workflows commonly involving STL, OBJ, PLY, AMF, 3MF, and native MIX projects |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Desktop mesh editing application |
| Install | None | Standalone Autodesk application; availability and platform support depend on the installed build |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Legacy Autodesk distribution terms; no dedicated photorealistic renderer included |

Instead of complex UV mapping, upload your image or use the RENDERCAD overlay tool to snip your screen. Type "Carbon Fiber" in the prompt, select "Exact" style, and in about 10-60 seconds, the AI will retexture your image realistically.
Snap a picture using the RENDERCAD overlay. Select the "Realistic" engine, set Condition to "Clean," and prompt "Brushed Aluminum." The AI applies the texture orientation correctly to your geometry.
Don't struggle with refraction settings. Upload your image or snip your view with RENDERCAD, set Style to "Creative," and prompt "Clear Glass." The engine handles transparency and light bending automatically.
Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing to RENDERCAD Studio. Add "Cold beverage with condensation" to your custom prompt. The "Realistic" engine will generate realistic droplets on the surface.
Use the RENDERCAD overlay. Prompt for "Injection Molded Plastic" and in Advanced Settings, set Condition to "Clean" for a smooth, factory-fresh look.
You don't need texture maps. Upload your image or snip your screen with RENDERCAD, then set Advanced Settings > Condition to "Dirty" or "Heavily Used" to instantly apply rust and age.
Capture your model and prompt "Oak Wood" in RENDERCAD. The Image-to-Image engine generates a unique, non-repeating grain pattern that fits your object's form.
Upload your image or snip your screen. In RENDERCAD, prompt "Polished Gold" and set Background to "Grey" or "Gradient." The AI generates the necessary reflections to simulate a metallic surface.
No need for bump maps. Use the RENDERCAD overlay to capture the view, then prompt "Black Leather." The AI interprets the depth and stitching automatically.
Capture your screen and use the custom prompt "Glowing Neon Blue Lights." The AI paints the bloom and light spill directly onto your image.
While RENDERCAD generates full rectangular images, you can set the Background to "White" or "Grey" in Advanced Settings for easy masking in post-production.
Upload your image or snip the model, then prompt for "Denim," "Cotton," or "Velvet." RENDERCAD applies the weave texture naturally over the surface.
