Remove a logo from an STL: Erase & Rebuild

Deutsch · English · Français · Español

Remove raised or engraved lettering and reconstruct the local surface from its surroundings.

Rendered example views: 1 shows the original model and 2 the calculated result. The images illustrate the model geometry, not the editor interface.

A simple example

A plate carries a raised “X”. The example removes it with a 5 mm selection radius and a 2 mm maximum edit depth. Adjust these values to your model.

Step by step

1. Open Repair and choose the area-marking action under Erase & Rebuild.
2. Click the centre of the lettering. Set the radius so the entire mark fits inside the dark-green circle.
3. Keep the outer ring free of unrelated details. Choose a suitable maximum edit depth.
4. Compare the reconstructed preview with the original. Check curvature, joins and the back surface, then apply.

What to check

The surface is estimated from the surrounding border; the original CAD shape is not stored. Uncertain curvature, edges or thin walls are rejected. Selection is circular, not a freehand brush.

Preview and save

A preview is not a saved change. Wait for the checked result and choose Apply. If the button is disabled, read the message and check the selection or inputs. The offered STL download is paid; you will see the current price before purchase.
