I guess it depends on the complexity of the object[s]...but I think "most" [or, those that can't justify paying for a software and/or service conversion to surfaces/solids] would just use the STL as a reference to construct the Solid Edge model around. You might be able to persuade...
I have a project where my input will be scanned data. I am assuming that this will come in the guise of an STL file. But before printing I need to get the file/data into Solidworks so I can modify the design of the scanned part. The difficulty is that So
an STL file is a type of mesh file created with unstructured triangular surfaces. Again, it’s just making up the outer surface of the model and its NOT a completely solid object
Solid Edge is really not a good tool to convert STL's to solid models. Sure there is a reverse engineering tool, but to fully create an accurate solid takes a lot of work. What is the purpose of converting STL's to solid bodies anyway? The STL file obviously start...
d begin with a solid model and avoid STL entirely, but maybe you found the perfect object onThingiverseor you used a 3D scanner, and there’s no reasonable way to begin with a solid model. Or maybe you’re already doing solid modeling, but you need to incorporate an STL model into it...
As a comprehensive 3D CAD/CAM solution, ZW3D encompasses the entire product development process and features a rapid kernel for Solid-Surface Hybrid Modeling, non-solid mold parting, and innovative CNC machining strategies spanning 2 to 5 axes. Output format: STEP, IGES, STL, and 3D PDF ...
I have all the facet data in catalogs, so no way to get out of IC to Blender as a facet model Quote Cary OConnor IronCAD Employee 9.6k Location:Atlanta, GA PostedJune 22, 2023 I guess the only way would be to export it as OBJ or STL to go to blender or other. But yes it wo...
This tutorial covers how to convert an STL to a STEP using FreeCAD. Note: Since STLs are meshes, the resulting model won't be as precise as parts originally made as solids. FreeCAD can export: - Step - Iges - Scad - Dxf - Dwg - Obj - Pdf And many others
Plus, ScanTo3D can recognize analytic shapes, such as machined parts and consumer products, and can decompose and fit analytic or non-analytic surface types to the mesh. ScanTo3D can import Mesh and Cloud Point file types including: .xml, .3ds, .obj, .stl, .ply, .xyz, .asc, .vda,...
UnderFiles of type, selectLithography (*.stl). ClickSave. Select Objects to Export: Select one or more solid objects in your model. Ensure that all objects are entirely within the positive XYZ octant of the world coordinate system (WCS). This means that their X, Y, and Z coordinates must...
