Solidworks To Stl Converter4/19/2021
This tool uses JavaScript and much of it will not work correctly without it enabled.
![]() The main problem Im having is the.STL file was generated off of a grinding simulation program, and its quite large has an incredible amount of facets (as shown in attached image), so it takes forever to generate a.STP file from it and then bring it into Solidworks. And then once I do finally get it into SW, theres many imperfections, especially along the edges. Bringing it in as a mesh file will not work because my main purpose of working with this file is to generate 2D drawing specifications. Ive tried using MeshLab to clean up the file, but havent found the right tool that works well enough to heal it completely (as there is an overwhelming ways to filter the file in MeshLab). The attached.STL is my best effort thus far, which brought it from the original 52mb down to 19mb, and it still has many imperfections. Btw, the reason for trying to work with this.STL file rather than creating a part file from scratch is we want to try and come up with a method of doing this on multiple cutter designs being provided to us by our vendor, by using what their grinding simulation program provides us. Any suggestions Thank you in advance, Jack Paul Salvador Jan 15, 2019 8:34 PM Correct Answer Hello Jack. I brought it into Rhino3d and removed the shaft (lots of polys) and exploded, joined and exported.

You can create planes and sketches over it, using the graphic body as a guide Its like copying a painting on the window Like Show 2 Likes 2 Actions Jack Ulstad Jan 15, 2019 8:18 PM Mark Correct Correct Answer Wow Thank you for quick response guys Both look like great suggestions, and Ill take a look at them in more detail in the morning. Worked in the machine shop today and feet are tired so Im heading home. Thanks again Paul Sergio Like Show 3 Likes 3 Actions Paul Salvador Jack Ulstad on Jan 15, 2019 8:39 PM Mark Correct Correct Answer.no problem. This is a really great forum Like Show 3 Likes 3 Actions Ruben Balderrama Jan 16, 2019 6:26 PM Mark Correct Correct Answer I dont understand a valid reason to use a 3D scan file or a stl file.both files are useless. Like Show 1 Like 1 Actions Jack Ulstad Ruben Balderrama on Jan 17, 2019 8:18 PM Mark Correct Correct Answer There are plenty of reasons to work with.STL files Ruben, especially when there are certain technologies that use primarily.STL (like grinder simulations, 3D printing, etc.), but in order to try and explain it further I would have to give you proprietary details on a project Im currently involved in. Unfortunately, Im not at liberty to share those details with you.
