How can I find the center of gravityto tell if an figure will stand
I designed a figure using Tinkercad and I want to determine if it will stand upright before I spend the money to get it printed. I read that Meshlab can show the center of mass. However when I use the Meshlab feature I don't get the graphical indication of center. I do get an X Y Z numeric result, but I am not sure what Meshlab is using for an origin point. I am new at Tinkercad and Meshlab software. The learning curve is very steep. Does anyone have an easy way to determine if an object will not topple over?
Thanks for any ideas

There was a really nice article some months ago about a Processing library to modify an object's center of gravity by playing on the internal mass infill and altering slightly the general shape with "handles".
Crazy cool stuff.
