SOLIDWORKS Tutorial - SOLIDWORKS and Scan Data

SOLIDWORKS has added numerous tools over the years for dealing with the importing and reverse engineering of scan data. In this video, we will look at some of the tools that we can use to create a full history tree to recreate the file in SOLIDWORKS plus tools to tell us how much deviation we might have from the original STL file. We can create a face, plane or an axis based on our selection of mesh data. We can slice the part and gather cross section sketches as well. We won’t have to guess about how close we are to the original scan data. We can turn the mesh data into parametric, solid features that we can use in our future designs.

as an advanced solidworks user who's new to scanning, this was extremely clear and helpful

[@homegingineering1319]

I find the videos on this channel so easy to follow. I have been using SolidWorks for about 10 years and I am still learning so much from you guys. Thanks.

[@goengineer]

We are so glad they are helpful for you Please let us know if there are any topics you want to see covered.

That was the best tutorial for 3d scan to solid I watched so far. And I watched a lot.
Thanks for making this content and help other people with it!

[@blooper68]

same. best ive watched.

[@omarcheevers]

@goengineer 3 months of sold works experience and now i feel like i have 10 years. this is really helpful.

Thank you for creating a clear, professional looking and sounding tutorial video. as a beginner in SOLIDWORKS I am having to deal with a similar situation. Your information should help me work with this.

[@AshishAshish-hs8sq]

thanks for creating the video.

[@nahinjuarez9689]

great!!!!

[@hcanergocmus]

Thanks for the video.
which scanning method and scanner were used for this graphic body?

[@edmundlively2840]

Great video. Be nice if you could provide a link to download the .stl you used to follow along with.

[@ugurisklar3442]

more this kind of videos pls

[@brandonz2]

Excellent video! One question, how do I rotate the graphic file once it's imported? My planes are all over the place

[@goengineer]

There are a couple things you can try czcams.com/video/C14qrgRe2JE/video.html

[@brandonz2]

@@goengineer That's the trick! Thanks! I've been using SolidWorks for far too long to not know that!🤦‍♂😅

I'm running SW2020 and "Surface From Mesh" fails nomatter what I do. Lower the tolerance, bigger paintbrush, paint a larger area.

[@tommynordin2484]

Did you ever get it to work? I’m having the same problem.

[@fernandoarosa]

It's possible to Solidworks 2017? I haven't mesh modeling tab...

[@goengineer]

The tools specifically demonstrated in this video are new to 2020, and the mesh bodies tools where new in 2018. SO you will need to upgrade to a newer version to access this kind of functionality.

[@RaviKumardaredevilz]

How can we see scan data in assembly mode? May be GoEngineer try to solve this. Working with scans is meaningless when you try to assemble with other components and see the scan data there.

[@GetLowRacingOfficial]

You can import the scan data in a part file as a graphics body and then insert that in an assembly
