Obloid

Obloid is a browser-based toolkit for working with 3D printing files, focused on the tasks that can slow down a print workflow before a model reaches the slicer. It provides tools for editing models, splitting them into printable parts, converting scans, and repairing STL or 3MF files directly in the browser.

The platform combines AI-assisted model editing and splitting with free browser-based tools for common 3D print preparation tasks. It is designed for people who want to make a model printable, repair an existing file, or move between different 3D formats without installing a separate desktop application.

Key Features

AI Model Editing

Upload a printable model and use AI-assisted controls to modify it.

The workflow lets you:

• Upload a model
• Adjust AI-found controls
• Refine the model
• Export the result

This provides a browser-based way to make changes to a model before sending it into a printing workflow.

Model Splitting

Break larger or more complex models into separate printable parts.

Splitting can make models easier to handle in a slicer and provides a way to prepare a design when printing it as a single piece is impractical.

AI-Assisted Model Splitting

Obloid also applies AI assistance to model-splitting workflows, helping users prepare models as multiple printable components through the browser.

3D File Conversion

Work with scans and different types of 3D data without leaving the browser.

Supported workflows include common 3D formats as well as:

• PLY
• Point clouds
• Gaussian splat formats

This makes the toolkit useful when converting captured or generated 3D data into meshes suitable for further print preparation.

Print-Ready Exports

Prepare models for use in common 3D printing workflows by exporting them as:

• STL
• 3MF
• GLB

These formats provide flexibility depending on how the model will be edited, shared, or sent to a slicer.

Browser-Based Print Tools

Obloid includes free browser tools for common 3D printing preparation tasks.

These tools cover workflows such as:

• Splitting
• Repairing
• Generating
• Exporting print files

This allows users to handle several preparation steps without leaving the browser.

STL and 3MF Workflows

Obloid separates STL and 3MF use cases based on what needs to be preserved in the file.

STL is suited to broad slicer compatibility and single-material meshes.

3MF can retain additional information such as color, multiple parts, and slicer project information, making it useful for workflows involving applications such as Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer.

Choosing between the formats therefore depends on whether basic mesh compatibility or richer project information is more important for the next step of the printing workflow.

Built For 3D Printing Workflows

Obloid is designed for people who regularly work with printable 3D models or need to prepare files before slicing.

It can be useful for:

• 3D printing hobbyists
• Model makers
• Designers
• Users working with 3D scans
• People repairing STL or 3MF files
• Users preparing complex models for printing
• Anyone who wants browser-based print preparation tools

Common Use Cases

Preparing a Model for Printing

Edit a model, make adjustments, and export a printable mesh before moving it into a slicer.

Splitting Large Models

Divide a model into multiple pieces when the complete object is difficult to print or handle as one part.

Repairing Print Files

Use browser-based repair tools to work with STL or 3MF files before sending them through the rest of the print workflow.

Converting 3D Scans

Work with scan data, PLY files, point clouds, and Gaussian splat formats as part of a conversion workflow toward usable 3D meshes.

Choosing the Right Export Format

Export to STL when broad slicer compatibility and straightforward meshes are the priority, or use 3MF when preserving color, multiple parts, or slicer project information is important.

Browser-Based 3D Print Preparation

The main workflow stays in the browser, from model editing and splitting through conversion, repair, and export. This makes Obloid useful when you need a specific print-preparation operation without moving between multiple desktop applications.

The combination of AI-assisted tools and free browser utilities also means you can start with common preparation tasks before using the credit-based AI features for more advanced editing and refinement.

Pricing

Obloid uses browser access alongside credits for AI analysis and refinement.

Free accounts include:

• Browser-based tools
• A small credit allotment

Paid plans add:

• More credits
• AI editing
• Unlimited exports
• Access to future tools

Why It Matters

Preparing a 3D model for printing often involves more than simply exporting a mesh to a slicer. Models may need repairs, splitting, format conversion, or other adjustments before they are ready to print.

Obloid brings these preparation tasks into a browser-based toolkit while adding AI-assisted editing and splitting. With support for STL, 3MF, GLB, scan-related formats, and browser-based repair and conversion tools, it provides a centralized workflow for getting 3D files ready for the next stage of production.

Prepare 3D Print Files With Obloid

Edit, split, repair, convert, and export 3D models directly from your browser. With AI-assisted model workflows, support for common 3D formats, free print-preparation tools, and credit-based access to AI features, Obloid provides a practical toolkit for moving models from raw files to print-ready exports.
