CATIA V5 surfacing and STL scans.

[dtwo]

I have a STL file that was generated from a digitized part in Polyworks. I can import the STL file into CATIA V5 however when I create surfaces from the point cloud they are too small for our MasterCAM program to use. I have tried increasing the surface deviation but then the original surfaces are distorted. My goal is to be able to machine to the STL profile. Any ideas?

MasterCAM should be able to import STL.

I have seen Polyworks build surface on cloud and it seems easier/faster/better than V5 capabilities. Why don't you create the surface in Polyworks?
