It uses a different library for the final render and the OpenGL preview is often not perfect for complex geometry. The former is creating an actual watertight 3d model, the latter is just using z-order to simulate one.

Right... and also, as you increase the model complexity rendering correctness and speed take a dive to the point the preview render is unusable.
