What it is
Vertessia reconstructs meshes and scans into editable STEP CAD surfaces. Organic mode produces smooth NURBS patches, while Mechanical mode fits planes, cylinders, and cones. It accepts STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF, GLB, glTF, and STEP files up to 100 MB. Mesh format conversions and STEP-to-mesh conversion are free without an account. A free account adds reconstruction and a browser-based 3D preview for inspecting a model before downloading, and new signups receive three free STEP downloads. The site gives a typical reconstruction time of 30 seconds to two minutes. Jobs that rebuild less than 85% of a mesh fail without charge; coverage between 85% and 95% triggers a warning. Plans include Maker at $19 a month, Pro at $79 a month, Team at $249 a month, and Pay as you go at $3,030, paid once. The site describes Maker for regular reverse-engineering and Pro for scanning and print services. Files are processed in Canada and deleted within 24 hours, except paid STEP files kept for 30 days for redownload. The service is not certified for clinical or safety-critical use.

The verdict
Vertessia offers mesh conversion and reconstruction with separate modes for organic and mechanical surfaces. Its reconstruction thresholds, file-retention details, and stated use limitation are important considerations before relying on the output.
Who it suits
Vertessia may suit people converting scans or meshes into editable STEP surfaces, including regular reverse-engineering and scanning or print services. Its web-based preview and API options may be relevant to users building conversion into a workflow.
