[How do I convert an stl mesh file into a solid or surface model?]

Thank you Yellowshark,

I am running the 2014 version, but the scanto3d buttons are greyed out.

Thanks for your advice, i was not aware of quality problems when you are moving between software, good to know!

What i want to do is scan an object (a spoiler for example) and make a fin or more curves, after that we test it, modify again and produce it. So most of the scanned objects are big, i have an upright made about 1062446 faces....

About the money: quality above all ;-)

 

[How do I convert an stl mesh file into a solid or surface model?]

My good friend google found me this forum,

I am busy to learn working with my 3d scanning and it is all going well. I have made my first scans and fusions. For editing my fusions i work with Meshlab.

What i want is to convert the stl files into a stp file and open it in Solidworks to modify the part to create a new product. Mostly it is about carparts.

Is there anybody here with experience.

Unfortunaly the scanto3d add-in is not working in solidworks :-(

Thanks in advance.
