xTool Studio

Send a model from the Meshy web app straight into xTool Studio, ready for 3D relief engraving or UV printing on your xTool machine.

Before you begin

  • You need a Pro plan or higher. On the Free and Starter plans, clicking xTool Studio opens the upgrade options.

  • Install xTool Studio, xTool's official software for its laser engravers and UV printers, on the computer where you use the Meshy web app. The web app opens xTool Studio through your browser, so you don't need a plugin.

Send a model

To send a model to xTool Studio, follow these steps:

  1. In the left sidebar of the Meshy web app, click Print. If the panel asks you to select a model, select it in the list of your generations.

  2. In the Print panel, under Send to Printer, click xTool Studio.

  3. In the browser prompt, select Always allow www.meshy.ai to open links of this type in the associated app so the browser doesn't ask again, and then click Open xTool Studio.app.

xTool Studio opens a new 3D project and imports the model into it. Meshy sends the model as an OBJ file, standing upright and 75 mm tall. A textured model keeps its textures for UV printing.

A very detailed model can take a while to download, and xTool Studio might offer to simplify it before the import. If the model doesn't fit the material you selected, xTool Studio asks whether to scale it to fit.

More ways to send

You can send models from your generations, whichever tool made it, and models that other users shared in Community. For example, you can also send from these places:

  • In the Model panel, click Print (the 3D printer icon) in the viewer toolbar. The Print panel opens, and you can continue from step 2.
