MeshWright
A Windows add-in for Autodesk Fusion that lets your own AI assistant rebuild a 3D scan as editable, parametric CAD, then checks the result against the scan.

Machinists, reverse-engineering shops, and product designers often start from a 3D scan. A scan is a mesh: millions of triangles that show the shape but cannot be edited like a real part. Turning it into CAD usually means remodeling it by hand.
MeshWright gives an AI assistant hands inside Fusion. The assistant measures the scan, builds native Fusion features with real parameters, and then MeshWright checks the saved model against the scan before anyone trusts it. We built it, and it is now sold at meshwright.io.
How a rebuild runs
- Bring the scan: an STL, OBJ, PLY, or 3MF file. MeshWright checks mesh quality and asks you to confirm units first.
- Prepare a saved job, then continue in your connected AI app. Claude Code and Codex have built-in adapters.
- The assistant builds native Fusion features, such as extrudes, holes, and fillets, with editable parameters, and asks you about dimensions and design choices.
- Verification saves and reopens F3D and STEP files, checks feature health, and compares the model with the scan. Failed checks and missing measurements are reported, not hidden.
A recorded result, with its limits
On an RC steering knuckle, a reference fit reached 95.5 percent volume overlap with the scan, a median surface deviation of 0.021 mm, and a 99th-percentile deviation of 0.198 mm. It matched 5 of 12 detected reference cylinders; some cross-axis bores were represented by slabs rather than hole features.
That is one recorded experiment scored on 20,000 samples, and the saved record predates MeshWright's newer scoring-provenance fields. It is not a guaranteed manufacturing tolerance. A reference fit is also a separate check from the editable Fusion feature tree. MeshWright publishes the misses next to the hits, which is the point.
What it needs
- A 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 PC with Autodesk Fusion running.
- An active MeshWright licence, and an internet connection to the licence service for protected operations such as starting work.
- A connected AI app on your own account. AI usage is billed by that provider, separately from the licence.
- Job files stay on your machine. Your AI app may send project data under its own terms, so review its settings before using private parts.
What it shows about our client work
The discipline is the same one we bring to client tools: small steps, measured output, and a result a person reviews before it counts. If a job in your business needs an assistant that works inside software you already use, that is the kind of tool we build.
