    I've recently had some orders canceled due to parts not being attached. In some cases I have been able to spot the problem, others I haven't. Does anyone know of any tools, tricks, or techniques which can help with this (that is, beyond my current process of zooming in real close and panning around...)?


    Thanks

    Hi Afrodri,

    did you get an automated message about that, or did an operator spot a problem?

    If you could mail the files to bart@shapeways.com, I'd be happy to check them out for you. Please send the files as STL.

    Cheers,

    Bart

    The operator spotted a problem. I will send some files along, but I'm mainly interested in how the process is performed, and if anyone has found any techniques or tools to automate it (i.e. something to make it like manifold-checking which is automated by several tools)

    thanks,
