CATIA Reverse Engineering - from STL to Solid Body
Learning how to convert an STL model to a solid body in CATIA for reverse engineering is an important skill for engineers, designers, and 3D modelers who work with scanned or mesh-based data. In many industries, physical parts are often scanned using 3D scanners, producing STL files made up of triangular meshes. While these files accurately represent the shape of an object, they are not ideal for editing or manufacturing. Converting an STL model into a solid body in CATIA allows you to transform this raw mesh into a fully functional CAD model that can be modified, analyzed, and used for production.
