[To...] Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) I have a model that was an .stl file and was painfully converted to a .stp file, but is useless to me in Calypso. I have tried healing and it fails to complete process. Any thoughts?

[Ma...] Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Have you tried conversion in Fusion? 1 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/25577-stl-to-step-conversion/#findComment-144749 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ze...] Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Hi Tom, I don't know if it's possible to convert polygon-based geometry to unfaceted/smooth surfaces directly. I've never had any luck with STL files other than for 3D printing. It's a pretty old file type. If you figure something out, please post it. Looks like your Patriots are back in the saddle. Should be a fun weekend of football. 🙂 1 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/25577-stl-to-step-conversion/#findComment-144761 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has always been the holy grail for scanned 3d files but it does not currently exist (to my knowledge). I have tried the same, with no luck. 1 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/25577-stl-to-step-conversion/#findComment-144763 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Je...] Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The mesh modeling tools in Solidworks allow surface creation from polygons, but it's laborious and probably not a solution here. In similar situations, I've had to redrawn the entire CAD, but I sometimes import the existing STL into Solidworks as a reference to sketch around. 2 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/25577-stl-to-step-conversion/#findComment-144779 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[To...] Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 Please sign in to view this quote. Sorry, but I really don't know the details of the conversion process. I don't have the stl files in my possession. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/25577-stl-to-step-conversion/#findComment-144845 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) I've also encountered this phenomenon frequently with STEP data involving freeform surfaces. It's usually only the curved outer/surface area.
