MESHLAB is an advanced mesh processing system for automatic or user-assisted editing, cleaning, filtering, converting and rendering of large unstructured 3D triangular meshes.

This directory contains some information and examples that illustrate how MESHLAB can be used. For now, we simple provide a few examples of input files that can be viewed with the program.

MESHLAB reads and writes 3D triangular meshes stored in the following formats:

MeshLab is an open source, portable, and extensible system for the processing and editing of unstructured large 3D triangular meshes. It is aimed to help the processing of the typical not-so-small unstructured models arising in 3D scanning, providing a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting, rendering and converting this kind.

About MeshLab

MeshLab 2020.12 is an open source, portable system for the editing and processing of unstructured 3D triangular meshes. MeshLab is aimed to help the processing of the typical not-so-small unstructured models arising in 3D scanning, providing a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting, rendering and converting this kind of meshes. This project is actively supported by the 3D-CoForm project. This download is licensed as freeware for the Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) operating system/platform without restrictions. MeshLab is available to all software users as a free download for Windows.

We tested the file MeshLab2020.12-windows.exe with 24 antivirus programs and it turned out 100% clean. It's good practice to test any downloads from the Internet with trustworthy antivirus software.

Older versions of Windows often have trouble running modern software and thus MeshLab may run into errors if you're running something like Windows XP. Conversely, much older software that hasn't been updated in years may run into errors while running on newer operating systems like Windows 10. You can always try running older programs in compatibility mode.

Officially supported operating systems include 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.

The current version of MeshLab is 2020.12 and is the latest version since we last checked. This is the full offline installer setup file for PC. This site has hosted other versions of it in the past such as 2020.09, 2020.07, 2020.06, 2020.05 and 2020.04. At the moment, only the latest version is available.
