Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our design assistance services

We accept STL, OBJ, 3MF, STEP, FBX, and PLY formats. For best results, STL or 3MF files are preferred.
Basic cleanup typically takes 24-48 hours, while comprehensive optimization and validation takes 3-5 days. Complex custom projects are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
We only make modifications necessary for printability and optimization. We always maintain the original design intent and will never change the aesthetic appearance unless specifically requested.
We offer a satisfaction guarantee. If you're not happy with the results, we'll work with you to make adjustments at no additional cost until you're completely satisfied.
