[Br...] Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Hello, Me and a machinist are working on scanning a gear component because he cannot track down the original CAD file. This project is a little out of our scope of work but we decided to try it anyhow. Unfortunaltey, the STL is not working for his software. Does anyone have any workflows or other software that could take a GOM scan/STL and transform it into a workable CAD file? Thanks in advance.

[Ji...] Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 You need a reverse engineering software that will work with a mesh file to create sketches, extrusions, etc to create a clean CAD file. I recommend Geomagic DesignX. If it's not too complex, I can do it for you for free.

[Br...] Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 Thanks everyone for the reccomendations. Also, thanks Jim for the offer. I might try and scan again to get better coverage and some mesh cleanup. Maybe we can discuss soon.
