When it comes to a 3D scanning file, what is a water tight mesh?
When talking about watertight mesh files typically the STL file will have no holes, voids, or non-conforming triangle structures. In simple terms imagine filling the inside of the file with water, would anything leak out? If not then chances are the file is watertight and ready for 3D printing.
