      The Shrinkwrap tool allows you to create a single, faceted model that can be sent to a 3D printer. Shrinkwrap creates a faceted wrapper around the model that closes gaps. It has controls like “Select tight fit faces or facets,” “preserve features,” and “secondary size” which can be used to further capture underlying geometry more accurately. Shrinkwrap helps to overcome any spikes, sharp edges and irregularly distributed facets and generates a smooth surface. You need to have a closed facet model to generate shrinkwrap properly.
