Hi.
I'm doing my master thesis and I need some help to convert a surface to a solid object. I need it to be a solid object cause of the 3D printer I'm going to use. I tryed several of methods that I found on the internett, but I'm not able to make it work. Can anybody help me?

    Hi,

    Conversion is a pretty sensitive area in general, but try with the software called Mesh To Solid 3.0
    I think it may take a while to convert it depending on your mesh file, but it's worth trying.
