Convert PLY to STL.
Convert a PLY mesh (often from 3D scans) to STL for printing and CAD. Vertices and faces preserved exactly.
How it works
- 01
Upload your PLY
Drop a 3D model or pick one from your device. Private by default.
- 02
Convert with trimesh
trimesh reads the geometry and writes STL — vertices and faces preserved exactly, no paid API in the loop.
- 03
Download or hand off
Grab your STL, or open it in TranscriptAI to do more.
Geometry preserved exactly — vertices & faces
Watertight meshes stay watertight

Common questions
Is it free?+
Yes — convert PLY to STL free. Paid plans add larger files, batch and priority.
Is my model private?+
Uploads go to a private bucket, are converted, and auto-delete after 1 hour. Files never touch a third-party converter.
Is the geometry changed?+
No — vertices and faces are preserved exactly. Multi-part scenes are merged into a single mesh for clean output.
