How do you make a 3D scan into a solid?
Follow this process to convert 3D scan data to Solid Model,
- First generate normal on the loaded model:
- Render > Show vertex normals.
- Save the file (Export Mesh, . ply) with the option Normals and re-open it.
- Filters > Point Set > Compute normals for point sets.

How do you create a CAD model?
The typical way to model a 3D CAD model follows 2 main steps:
- Creating a sketch or draft.
- Changing this draft in 3D using specific operations.
- The model can then be refined using specific operations that depends on what you want to do.

Can AutoCAD do 3D Modelling?
The tools for working in 3D in AutoCAD are located on the 3D modeling workspace. So AutoCAD comes with multiple workspaces. You’ve got drafting and annotation, which is what you see initially out of the box. And those are the tools for working in 2-D.
What is scanto3d in SolidWorks?
Using the SOLIDWORKS software’s ScanTo3D functionality, you can open scan data from any scanner (mesh or point cloud files) or curve data from mathematics software, prepare the data, then convert it into a surface or solid model.
What file types can I import into scanto3d?
ScanTo3D can import Mesh and Cloud Point file types including: .xml, .3ds, .obj, .stl, .ply, .xyz, .asc, .vda, .igs. SOLIDWORKS ScanTo3D enables you to open scan data directly into SOLIDWORKS, as well as prepare and surface the data using the ScanTo3D tools.
What is a 3D scanner in SolidWorks?
A 3D scanner captures physical samples and brings them into SOLIDWORKS as highly accurate 3D references. Allowing you to scan detailed parts and models and build your designs to match.
