.stl file convertion
.stl file convertion
(OP)
Help needed!!
I was creating a file and performed part of operations in Netfabb.
But it turned out that the machine needs a CAD file (dxf, dvg, step, etc...)
To be honest, now I have absolutely no idea on how to rebuild it from a scratch in CAD...
Could you please advise me on how to convert this file into CAD format (ideally for AutoCAD)?
I tried to convert it in Geomagic but I didn't manage to preserve quality (see picture - http://www.4shared.com/photo/huDL1i39ba/1_online.h...).
The edges became rounded but I want to avoid it. I also didn't manage to save it correctly in any CAD format...
Here's my 50Mb piece of art :( - http://www.4shared.com/file/ZBHC7_uVba/vichit2.htm...
Many thanks in advance!!!

RE: .stl file convertion
How did you get the file from Netfabb to Geomagic did you import it as a dumb solid?
I just looked at the Nettfab program, it would appear that the only files common to both programs are STL files
So if you can import an acceptable model into Geomagic , you should be able to edit that, then export it in one of the file formats listed.

I just don't get what drawing you mean. Do I have to make a completely new drawing?
I want to convert finished .stl file to another format using Geomagic.
Is it possible at all?
RE: .stl file convertion
I very strongly recommend going back and reading the Geomagic tutorials.

I'm totally new to Geomagic and can't find the feature tree you're talking about - I use Geomagic Studio 2012, does it make diffrence?
I used this vid as a tutorial when I tried to convert the file myself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDvg3QS60Mc, but something went wrong anyway.
RE: .stl file convertion
To do what you want to do, you need Geomagic Design not Geomagic Studio. You can download a free trial version from their site The current version is version 16.0.2 I think the trial version is good for about a week.
