STL to Solid with NX9
STL to Solid with NX9
(OP)
Hi all
I just joined this forum in the hope that the gurus over here might be able to help me out
I need to convert mesh file (STL format) to a solid
At work I have access to NX9 and could use the suite to carry out this conversion. The only problems is I have no NX9 skills
Can someone please explain to me how to convert an STL to a solid using NX9? I've gotten as far as importing the STL into NX. It lets me view and manipulate the model, but where do I go from there?
Since I dont have NX skills, I'd prefer if there are automated tools that can do the conversion
If manual work is required, please tell me the commands and sequence of commands that need to be used for this and I can look up the help files and online videos and I'll figure out how
Thanking everyone in advance

As being stated in these thread's you can create surfaces with Rapid Surface (TIP: use Command Finder)
Another way is, to make use of Rhino software, it can import your stl and export to STEP.
Kind regards,

Also, the result will contain "millions" of surfaces.

Haven't used it myself, but a colleague, this with mixed results...
