Sound familiar?

Email, Slack, and filenames weren't designed for engineering change control. Meshdiff gives your team one place to compare revisions, discuss changes, and approve the version that gets manufactured.

The Workflow

A review workflow your engineering team can actually use.

01

Compare

What changed?

See exactly what was added, removed, or modified.

02

Discuss

What needs fixing?

Pin comments directly to the geometry.

03

Resolve

Was it fixed?

Track feedback across revisions.

04

Approve

Is this the one we manufacture?

Give the team a clear final revision.

Revision History

Every revision. Every comment. One approved version.

Every revision has a history. Every comment stays connected to the geometry. Everyone knows which version was approved.

Watch a revision move through the workflow.

Who It's For

Built for teams that make physical things.

Hardware Startups

Review prototype revisions quickly without adding another heavyweight CAD system.

Engineering Teams

Keep design-review discussions tied to the actual geometry.

3D Printing Teams

Know exactly which revision is ready to print.

Manufacturers

Review customer revisions without requiring CAD software.

Under The Hood

Powerful 3D comparison under the hood

The workflow above runs on a real comparison engine, not a mockup — here's what's actually happening under it.

Geometry diff

See exactly what was added or removed between two versions, highlighted in green and red.

  • STL
  • 3MF
  • OBJ

Surface heatmap

See how far the surface actually moved, down to the millimeter, everywhere it changed.

  • High precision

Printability check

Thin walls, steep overhangs, and unsupported areas get flagged automatically, before you print.

  • FDM
  • Pass / Warn / Fail

Shareable links

Share one link and anyone sees the exact same comparison — no account, no install.

  • No signup
  • 1–7 day expiry

3D-pinned comments

Click anywhere on the model to leave feedback exactly where it matters.

  • Projects

Version history & approvals

Every upload is saved, with your team's review built in before anything ships.

  • Team

Your 3D models are your IP.

Meshdiff computes diffs in your browser — comparing two models never requires uploading them. On Pro and Team, projects are stored so your history and comments persist, but your files are never sent to a third party.

Pricing

Diff for free. Upgrade to review, approve, and ship with your team.

The comparison tool is free forever. Founding members get 50% off Pro and Team for 3 months.

"Version control for 3D models has always been awkward, since a diff of two binary STLs tells you nothing useful. Meshdiff does the job properly."

Make sure everyone knows what changed — and which version is approved.

Questions

Frequently asked

In Community, files stay on your machine when comparing or measuring — they never leave your browser. Files are uploaded only when you create a share link. Pro and Team upload all files to storage (for saved projects, history, and versioning).
