Meshcast wants to turn your STLs into soap. Daniel Haag turned us on to the browser tool Meshcast that he created to convert uploaded 3D models into printable molds for candles, soap, resin casting, and more in seconds. We gave it a spin with our decidedly complex Bavaria Statue STL, and, impressively, it produced a mold that appeared ready for soap-making duty. Bavaria soap is now within reach finally solving a problem nobody knew they had. Meshcast also does cookie cutters, stamps, and other printable odds and ends, but the mold generator is the main attraction. It's free for a few downloads, then there's a paid plan.
