Everyone working with 3D-scanned objects, knows this problem. The part has been scanned and has to be fixed after to repair defects and to make it “watertight”. That needs manual effort. But if you like to onwards use the triangulated data within the format stl or 3mf, the headache just begins. The “stupid” data cannot be imported easily into an assembly. The management inside a PLM or PDM system is tedious, design modifications and enhancements are almost impossible. How would it be, if you would get back within a very short period of time data which you could process easily, which is commonly refered to as “3D scan to CAD”? In a format like step, igs or even native in SolidWorks?
What you have to do for it, is very straight forward:
