How to Reverse Engineer .STL Files in SolidWorks

Today we will be using a CAD challenge to show one method of reverse engineering .stl files using SolidWorks.
Monday through Friday we are live on our social media platforms helping people from around the world answer tricky engineering questions. We cover topics that include CAD, design for manufacturing, project management, sourcing and supply chain optimization, 3D scanning and printing, entrepreneurship, and much more.

I think you skipped over the most important part, which is aligning the 3d scan to planes/coordinate system

[@76dmyers]

What an awesome instructor you are! I just now stumbled across your channel and subscribed. I have always struggled with reverse engineering STL's. Thank you for making it make sense!

Brother I didn't even know you can extrude twice from one sketch, thank you

[@Rycamcam]

Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial! Very helpful

[@antoniogomezruiz2700]

Awesome video! I´m starting to work using reverse engineer to design new parts, and this help me a lot, thank you

[@kraftwurx_Aviation]

Thank you for teaching me something. Been using Solidworks for 18 years and never done that before with a sketch. I've done 3D sketch splines on a surface but didn't know you could do this.
