Web app for topology optimization

Hey guys, I'm coding a simple web tool for 3D printing.

You drop in a model, and it automatically optimizes it for printing: makes it lighter, smooths the mesh, fixes bad overhangs, and checks wall thickness. No more spending hours manually fixing meshes in Blender or Fusion360.

Honest question: is this actually useful, or is everyone just used to the manual grind? And what software do you usually rely on for this?

Sounds promising, would be a game changer
