The 3D Model Needed Repair Before the Printer
InstructMesh lets novices select flawed regions and apply fabrication-aware geometric corrections through language or sliders.
Summary
InstructMesh lets novices select flawed regions and apply fabrication-aware geometric corrections through language or sliders.
Generative 3D models can look plausible while containing holes or thin regions that fail after fabrication. InstructMesh edits the intermediate latent representation to open or seal voids and adjust local thickness without requiring expert modeling tools. Two user studies found that novices could identify and repair fabrication-relevant failures and preferred a hybrid of slider controls and natural-language input; the work evaluates repair assistance, not guaranteed printability.
