Use mold tools for generating STL mold parts, Kalıbı Dilimle for an existing mold, and 3D Model Dilimle for splitting a regular model into printable keyed pieces.
Open tools →Every AutoMold3D workflow, explained without guesswork.
Use these guides for the features that exist today: mold creation, split plane movement, model scale, tray molds, adaptive shells, vase molds, press molds, mesh optimization, large-model splitting, FDM layout and downloads.
01
Start here
Pick the tool by what you already have: a product model, a finished mold, or a model too large for your printer.
STL, OBJ, 3MF, GLB, GLTF and FBX are parsed in the browser. STEP/STP/IGES are not silently faked; export them to a mesh format first.
Core geometry work runs on the device. Quote requests and admin data use Supabase only when those systems are configured and explicitly submitted.
02
Mold tools
These are the current production mold families in the studio.
General rigid two-part mold with alignment pins, sealing channel and adjustable wall, channel, fit tolerance and model clearance.
Multi-cavity tray workflow supports multiple uploaded models, chosen count and spacing, then creates a flat-base silicone tray master.
Female cavity plus male piston for shallow press work. Split movement is vertical Z only, with the male piston kept as the lower half.
Fast shell around the model with flat base, square male/female pins and a model-to-shell clearance bar.
Lightweight shell following the model with split plane, base channel, pour opening and separate U-clips.
For hollow open-top shapes. It creates base, carrier halves, inner core and upper ring while keeping the core clearance in millimeters.
03
Split plane, scale and surface controls
Critical controls that change geometry, not just the preview.
The orange plane can be moved where the mold type supports it. Box/adaptive/vase workflows use the plane for seam, channel and pour-position logic; press mold split movement is Z-only.
Use the model rotation buttons or direct model interaction before generating. The scale panel shows real X/Y/Z millimeters and can preserve proportions.
After mold generation, choose a target part and face, then add text or logo as emboss or engraving. Ctrl+Z returns the previous relief state.
04
Optimization
Use this before heavy splitting or when scans create huge triangle counts.
Light, balanced and strong use different target percentages. The custom slider lets you choose the target before generating a downloadable STL.
Automatic repair attempts to weld tiny gaps and validate topology. If a format cannot be safely converted, the tool shows a clear error instead of pretending.
Dense models in the split tools first open the existing optimize preview; continue only after accepting the optimized result.
05
FDM layout and downloads
Outputs are meant to be useful in slicers, not just pretty in the browser.
Set real X/Y/Z printer dimensions. The split preview bed updates its grid, logo and build-volume label to match.
The FDM arrange button rotates pieces so flatter faces sit on Z=0 and places them side by side. The FDM ZIP preserves that arranged layout.
When you need assembly context, download the original split ZIP. It preserves the parts in their initial divided positions.
ZIP downloads include guide text and part naming so you can understand where every split piece belongs.
06
Troubleshooting
Common symptoms and the safest first fix.
Model is too dense or the browser reports memory limits
Run Optimize first or accept the optimize popup in the split tool. If the model is still huge, lower the target triangle count and try again.
Pins or channels would damage thin areas
The splitter skips connectors on risky thin interfaces. Increase model scale, change split direction, or disable pins/channels for fragile sections.
Downloaded pieces are not on the bed
Use FDM-ready download for slicer placement. Use original split download only when you need the model in its assembly position.
Text/logo is not touching the selected surface
Choose the correct part and face, then drag the preview marker onto the surface before applying relief.
