Caliper

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 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 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 for large files) or file_b64 (for files under 200KB). Include filename for format detection if using file_b64. When using file_url, the format is detected from the URL path extension; filename is not required. Files under 150KB are free. Larger files cost $0.02/MB via x402 (USDC on Base) or card via MPP (Stripe; adds $0.35 surcharge). If payment is required, the response includes payment details. Retry with the payment argument containing the payment proof. Privacy policy: https://caliper.fit/privacy

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", and "priceToken". Partial success: if some files fail processing, you still receive results for the files that succeeded. Privacy policy: https://caliper.fit/privacy
