Freecad Reverse Engineering - from STL to Solid body

Learning FreeCAD reverse engineering by converting an STL file format to a solid body is an essential skill for anyone interested in product design, 3D modeling, or manufacturing. This process allows you to transform mesh-based 3D scans or downloaded models into editable, parametric solid models that can be refined, modified, or reproduced accurately. It bridges the gap between raw 3D data and professional design work.

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.

Auto Ballooning NX2007 (2022)

Hello Everybody, Welcome to Mech Dezignz. Today we will se how to add part list and add ballooning to the views in assembly. So lets begin... So this is in assembly format. So that we can do ballooning and drafting partwise... First of all we will go to drafting... So after putting the view we will go to part list... To set the length of the table we have to go to part list properties... So by increasing the height the contents can be adjusted in single table... Now for ballooning, we can add the auto balloon to any view which have been imported... So by right clicking and choosing show balloon we can do auto ballooning... We can adjust the balloons as required by stretching or double clicking to add or modify contents... Since this is latest NX some commands may be different than older version... Any queries can be carried on to the comments section... Thanks Have a nice day...

Good evening Everybody... Today We will see how to find intersection points in 3D model... This could be useful in reverse engineering and model correction... Ok then lets start the video... First we will make points and lines from the model as showing now... So we have made centre lines as in model... Now we will make instersecting points for the model... So the points have been created... The co-ordinates of these points are used in bending program as well... So lets see how to find co-ordinates of these points... This is how the co-ordinates of intersection points are taken in 3D model... Thanks...
