Caliper

Detect File Format

Detect the geometry file format from a filename or URL. Returns the detected format name and whether it is currently supported. Use this to check format support before making a paid analysis call. No payment required. Privacy policy: https://caliper.fit/privacy

Request a Feature

Request a feature or format that Caliper doesn't support yet. Free, no payment required. Use this when you need a capability that Caliper doesn't currently offer — especially unsupported file formats (STEP, IGES) or analysis features not yet available. Requests are logged and used to prioritize development. Privacy policy: https://caliper.fit/privacy

Auto-Detect and Analyze

Auto-detect geometry file format and extract metadata statistics. Accepts a 3D geometry file via URL or base64 and returns structured metadata: bounding boxes, triangle counts, manifold analysis, point cloud statistics, and more. This is a read-only analysis tool — it does not perform mesh repair, format conversion, or boolean operations. Supported formats: STL, OBJ, PLY, PCD, LAS/LAZ, glTF/GLB. STEP and IGES support is planned. Provide either file_url (preferred f

STL Analysis

Extract metadata from an STL file (ASCII or binary). Returns triangle count, bounding box, surface area, volume, manifold analysis (watertight, open edges, non-manifold edges), triangle quality metrics, vertex deduplication count, mean edge length, minimum bounding sphere, and a noise estimate derived from planar region fitting. Payment via x402 (USDC on Base) or card via MPP (Stripe). See format_auto for payment flow details. Privacy policy: https://caliper.fit/pri

OBJ Analysis

Extract metadata from an OBJ file. Returns vertex/normal/texcoord/face counts, triangle/quad/polygon breakdown, material and group counts, bounding box, surface area, and triangulation status. Payment via x402 (USDC on Base) or card via MPP (Stripe). See format_auto for payment flow details. Privacy policy: https://caliper.fit/privacy

PLY Analysis

Extract metadata from a PLY file (ASCII or binary). Returns vertex/face counts, element properties, feature detection (normals, colors, texcoords, intensity, curvature), bounding box, centroid, and point cloud identification. Payment via x402 (USDC on Base) or card via MPP (Stripe). See format_auto for payment flow details. Privacy policy: https://caliper.fit/privacy

PCD Analysis

Extract metadata from a PCD point cloud file. Returns point count, field definitions, data format, organization, viewpoint, feature flags (RGB, intensity, normals, curvature), bounding box, centroid, and point density estimate. Payment via x402 (USDC on Base) or card via MPP (Stripe). See format_auto for payment flow details. Privacy policy: https://caliper.fit/privacy

LAS/LAZ Analysis

Extract metadata from a LAS or LAZ point cloud file. Returns LAS version, point format, point count, scale factors, offsets, bounding box, classification counts, feature flags (RGB, intensity, GPS time, waveform), and VLR information. Payment via x402 (USDC on Base) or card via MPP (Stripe). See format_auto for payment flow details. Privacy policy: https://caliper.fit/privacy

glTF/GLB Analysis

Extract metadata from a glTF or GLB file. Returns asset info, scene graph structure, mesh/material/texture counts, vertex and index totals, feature flags (normals, tangents, texcoords, colors, joints), primitive modes, and extensions. Payment via x402 (USDC on Base) or card via MPP (Stripe). See format_auto for payment flow details. Privacy policy: https://caliper.fit/privacy

Batch Analysis

Analyze multiple geometry files in a single batch request. Submit up to 10 files, receive a single quote, pay once, and get structured metadata for all files. Supports mixed formats. Read-only analysis — does not modify, convert, or repair files. Payment is required via x402 (USDC on Base) or card via MPP (Stripe). If no payment is provided, the response includes the total price and per-file breakdown. Retry with the payment argument containing "transaction", "network",
