EXPERIENCE
MESHMIXER
A powerful, free tool with vast functionality to finally give you full control over the types of files you want to print.
“Meshmixer is the perfect bridge tool between CAD and Slicers - a massively under rated tool for the 3D printing community”
The one thing I have found the most interesting is the ‘Meshmixer’ course. I was surprised that I had not heard of this software before and have been shocked with the capabilities… I am going to be using it a lot now!

Here's just some of the incredible things you can use Meshmixer for:
✓ Adjusting an existing model to be the exact right thing you need to print. Cutting it up, making something larger, smoother, smaller or more or less detailed. Even subtracting holes or adding raised badges and lettering, for example.
✓ Combining multiple models together to create practical prints with extra functionality, or just weird frankenstein-type monsters that allow you to expand your sick imagination create wonderfully original toys and models for the kids.
✓ Getting extra control of the models that a Slicer might not allow, or as easily such as enhanced support structures, hollowing out a model or other more advanced adjustments that will save filament or printing time.
✓Checking and manual and auto-repairing files that if left without fixing, may cause printing problems. Including hole filling, bridging, interior tubes and channels.
✓ Giving a model a different appearance, for example like making a model “low poly”, or making something low poly smoother and more organic looking.
When NOT to use Meshmixer:
❌ To create a model from scratch completely. While it is doable using many combinations of existing shapes and manipulating and combining them, really for this you will be best to use CAD or modelling software.
❌ If you’re a complete advanced level CAD or modelling designer and you’d rather spend the time designing something from scratch every time.
Put simply, this free tool from Autodesk is immensely powerful, and oddly massively underutilised in the 3D printing community.

Isn’t it time you stopped dreaming of all those specific things you could 3D print, and started actually creating prints exactly the way you want, in a fraction of the time it takes to design from scratch?
But as with anything; to learn to do all these things the old “trial and error” way, will take time.
That’s because there are valuable “hidden” features that once you know how to properly use, blow open what’s possible with the control you have over what you can print.
That’s why, we’ve combined our expert’s years of experience using this incredible tool into one condensed training course that will accelerate you to master mesh manipulator in no-time.
Introducing...
The Meshmixer for
3D Printing Mastery Course
In this course, we’ll take you by the hand to show you all the incredible things Meshmixer is capable of for 3D printing, when best to use these with examples, and how to do them correctly, all step by step.
Once you’ve mastered Autodesk’s Meshmixer, the choice with what you can print with your printer, explodes.
Not only that, you’ll quickly see how modifying existing objects and shapes in most instances is so much faster than designing from scratch.
Here’s a sample of what’s covered in The Institute of 3D Printing’s Meshmixer course when you enroll today:
Take charge of the work area - how to view, hide and duplicate views when working on one or multiple models.
Master all the shortcuts to effortlessly orientate your model view and the best way to use the “viewCube”
Why it’s important to see the triangle faces of a model and how to quickly switch to view these.
You can print directly from Meshmixer, or link to the Slicer - we’ll show you how and most importantly why you’d want to including how to set the print bed to match your printer.
How to use Transform to change the print orientation & scale with single axis as well as uniform.
When to Duplicate to save time or Mirror your model, and exactly when you need to do this.
Why the Separate Shells feature is so useful, especially when combined with the Mirror tool.
Hollow - When is this tool useful, how to use it and what you have to avoid.
Improve print strength, finish quality and printability by fully mastering the Plane cut tool.
How to harness the power of the select tool including; when to use it, brush type and size, smooth selection edges, reduce to change the number of faces on the model (and why), using extrude and more with different examples.
Our method to using erase and fill to ensure your model is watertight
A step by step tutorial of the techniques to easily use the select, plane cut, separate and combine tools to combine two models as a follow-along example.
A tour of the fantastic library of free “meshes” to pick from and add to your models to quickly maximise practicality.
Why you’ll want to make sure you use the Optimize Boundary tool
Adding snap connectors to your separated model for building after printing.
The real reason the Boolean Difference tool can save you a ton of time.
Using other shapes to align your separated prints when the snap connector is too big.
We take a look at Dave’s top 5 most useful brushes including what each brush does and what control options you have.
How to easily remove unwanted parts of your model with a handy, underutilised tool.
A practical example of those brushes and how to use them on your models.
How to quickly view overhangs on your model and why you shouldn’t miss this step.
The best way to use the support generator and options available.
Dave’s recommendations on where you need support and his top settings when creating your supports
And much more!
We’ll show you everything you need to know to use the ultimate tool to edit, manipulate, cut, fix and combine models in minutes, to create custom files, ready to 3D print exactly the way you want them.
We start at the beginning, so you don’t need any prior design or modelling experience - looking at you Brad Pitt (OK, wrong modelling…)
OK, so it’s clear you can’t afford not to have this wonderfully versatile tool in your 3D printing weapons arsenal, but…
Sounds great, but why can’t I just find this stuff online or “YouTube” it?
Great question, that's what we used to wonder, too.
Meshmixer is a brilliantly powerful tool, but there’s just not a lot of good information out there on the right way to use it for 3D printing. In fact, most of it is just damn frustrating.
Sure, there are a couple of walk throughs showing off the software, and some people online that use it for bits and bobs share their hacks.
But we know what this software is really capable of.
And we know the time it can save you, but most importantly how it can easily open up a limitless world of possibilities with what you can print.
Mastering this software will finally give you the key to unlock your 3D printer’s capabilities.
Without taking the short amount of time it’ll take you to race through this powerful, yet condensed course, you’ll be stuck in the “I wish I could print that” stage, always putting off getting the things you want, designed the way you want them.
Here's what you're getting:
Getting Installed, Setup & Started Properly
Training 1
We start at the beginning, and we assume nothing. Your tutor Dave will guide you through getting started the correct way, with explanations why we do things a certain way, so there’s no frustration.
Well worth watching even if you already have Meshmixer installed!
Discover The Full Power Of The Edit Options
Training 2
Mastering these options is going to save you a ton of design time. Here Dave explains how, and more importantly; when to use the Transform, Mirror, Duplicate and Plane Cut tools.
After just 20 minutes you’ll have a selection of shortcuts that’ll shave hours off your next 3D print design.
You’ll also learn how, why & when you should separate shells or hollow out sections.
Perfect for saving excess filament or if you just have a thing for printing Russian dolls (hey, no judgement!).
Mastering Your Selection Skillset
Training 3
Selecting an exact section or including the whole of a model you want to manipulate can be a frustrating experience.
Here we show our best tips for focusing down on, and easily grabbing the exact area you need, AND the common pitfalls to look out for so you don’t cause serious problems later.
Modify
Training 4
Here’s where the real fun begins, where you can manipulate the model exactly the way you like!
Reduce sections, extrude them, erase them and fill them - it’s all explained in this lesson with practical examples.
Combine To Create
Trainings 5 & 6
Once you’re confident manipulating the model, you want to be able to combine (or subtract) multiple models in relation to each other.
This is the huge time saver because there are so many existing models already available.
Meshmixer even has a library of useful accessories. Want to add some functionality like a clip, screw thread or mount? Just combine them in seconds!
Not only that, but the often overlooked single most important factor with a 3D printable file is ensuring it’s fully watertight afterwards. If it isn’t, it simply won’t print.
So yeah, maybe don’t forget that bit.
A Deeper Level Of Control With Brushes
Training 7
This is the super-fun bit. Let your childish inner thoughts run wild.
Dave will help you guide your likely natural silliness of wanting to mess around with these brushes (you’ll see what we mean when you try it) into great practice for when you actually want to do something skillful and productive.
So let loose and learn!
Secret Supports
Training 8
Who knew you could use Meshmixer to generate supports? We did. But more importantly, why?
Here Dave explains all, and shows you why you probably need more control over your supports if you want to really master them with non-obvious examples.
After all, supports are the enemy.
Finish, Check, Export & Print
Training 9
This wouldn’t be a complete course if we didn’t show you how to actually use these super cool (or uber ugly?) models you’ve just mashed together in a jiffy.
Get your brand new model exported and ready for slicing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are a few answers to our most common questions
Why should I get training for Meshmixer?
Being able to easily and fully customise what you choose to print with your 3D printer is a necessity. Otherwise, for the most part you might as well just buy pre-made stuff off the shelves. To really unlock your printer, you need to be able to print things that are right for whatever you want to use them for.
The problem is, using design software can be intensive, and take a long time to learn. Meshmixer saves you all this, opening up a world of possibilities by allowing you to combine, edit and manipulate existing models into pretty much anything you want, exactly the way you want it.
There's a bit of a knack to using it properly, though - and because it's one of 3D printing's best kept secrets, there's not many that truly understand how to get the most from this powerful (free) tool. That's we've created the Meshmixer Mastery Course, to get you up to speed in no time.
Are you ready to take the restrictions off your 3D printing?
How long will it take to complete?
How long it will take you to complete the course, vs how long it will take you to get significant value from the course are two very different questions.
Each video lesson is compact, so you'll start to get time, filament and frustration saving techniques a short way into the content. You can go through everything methodically (advised) or if you're short on time, just skip to the lessons you need right now and come back to the others later.
The full training for the Meshmixer course is a condensed 2.5 hours long in total and is fully comprehensive in what is covered.
What if I don't have time right now?
Great question! We get that people can have busy lives. That's why while there might be a time limit on the offer today, there's no time restriction on when or how fast you complete the trainings.
How much time do you waste when an unexpected fault arises, not just the hassle of restarting the print, but the hours of confusing searching online for a remedy, that still might not work.
Wouldn't you rather have the complete skill set needed to quick create a completely custom 3D print in minutes, with amazing results each time?
With our condensed, easy to follow step by step trainings you can work through at your own pace. Invest in this program and you'll have access to the content ongoing, for one super-low fixed price.
What if I don't like the course, or change my mind?
We believe in honest business practice. What that means is, we're so confident you'll get a ton of value from this unparalleled Meshmixer training that we're happy to take on all the risk.
If for whatever reason you don't like the training - just get in touch within 30 days of purchase and we'll refund you if you feel you've not got value from it, or for whatever reason you've changed your mind.
Dosen't matter if it's 29 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes after you've bought it, our 100% moneyback guarantee still stands.
Can't I just get all this stuff off Youtube?
Free sites like Youtube can be useful, but they don't contain all the information you need. List of "top 7 things to do on meshmixer" won't help you master it, they're likely just give you enough information to get frustrated at all the stuff you don't know.
We set out to create the most comprehensive training course for Meshmixer available, so that someone can follow it step by step, to get great results, easily and in record time - all without wondering what to do next, or in what order.
We don't assume anything, so everything is explained in plain English, without jargon so that anyone can follow on from the complete beginning.
Who should or should not take this course?
Who should take this course:
Anyone whose brand new to 3D printing (even if you don't have a 3D printer yet it's good to be prepared!) or has been printing a while but either doesn't feel confident using design or modelling software.
Anyone who just wants to save time, so they can quickly edit and manipulate files in no time, instead of spending hours designing from scratch.
Who should not take this course:
If you know absolutely everything you need to know about 3D design and would never dream of doing anything other than designing everything completely from scratch each time.
Will I be able to watch these videos off-line if required?
Yes, we understand that sometimes internet connections can be patchy so we have enabled this feature within the login area.
Why do I need to learn about Meshmixer?
Because we believe it's 3D printing's most under utilised tool. When you know how to use it, it saves you time and unlocks a world of possibilities.
Is this different to your Meshmixer trainings inside The Institute of 3D Printing training suite?
There are sections that are updated, but fundamentally this is the same course that you can find in our training suite. However this is a stand alone price, with bonuses and no monthly subscription fee. Pay just once and you get to keep the course - including any free updates in future as we release them.
Is this a subscription product, or is there any catch to this offer?
No, this is a complete stand-alone course. The price you see is what you pay, and it's a one-time investment.
We're offering at such a great discount for a short period of time to make it accessible to the most amount of people we can. We want to help as many people as possible get more control over exactly what they print, and how they print it, and we felt this fantastic offer was the best way to do that.
Do I need a 3D printer to get started?
While most people taking this course will already have a 3D printer, it makes perfect sense to invest in the course before your 3D printer arrives. Doing so will give you the confidence to start using it correctly to begin with, and print files the right way. It's always best to start as you mean to go on.
Do we get updates to this course in future included in this price?
Yes! Any updates we make to this course in future will be included. We invest heavily in keeping our content up to date. As we update in future, you will get access automatically (no extra charge). We periodically update our content, so you can be confident it's relevant.
What exactly does the 30 day money back guarantee mean?
Exactly what it says. If you buy the course, and for whatever reason you're not happy within 30 days of ordering (if it's 29 days, 23 hours and 58 minutes after) just let us know and if you'd like a refund you can have one.
We don't believe in keeping your money if you're not fully satisfied. So we want to make this an entirely risk-free investment for you.
Get instant access - even at 2am, guaranteed.
