(is that enough? or do you need both sides of your import?) This will give you a rough model, whit the 'right surface' on one side. then create some cuts to remove unwanted material. Otherwise, if you just want a 'printable' (is that a word?) model, then you either create a extrude from a datumplane that use the option 'up to surface' for determing the depth of the extrude (i.o.w extrude up to your imported surf and you got yourself a solid.

(or offset and use the option 'create side surf' and then 'solidify'. If the program you are using cant export step, then just google for a converter that will translate your wrl to stp.

This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team. I would be very thankful if any one could help me with suggestions! I have attached the 3d scan file edited in meshmixer, surface model of scanned hand(ready to export in creo) Import into solidworks > copy surface (move by 5mm in desired direction) > select outer loop of first surface > extrude perimeter 5mm (up to other surface) > knit surfaces and form solid > export as stl file (Now, its useful for printing) I want to make the model solid by applying 5mm thickness.īut, my friend could apply thickness to this surface model in solidworks.

I couldn't make any editing in the software ( no thickness applied). Now, I want to increase the thickness of the surface model exported from meshmixer and meshlab. I removed undesired materials of the model in Meshmixer and exported to creo 3.0 I used 123D catch to 3D scan my hand, I downloaded stl, obj file of my hand from 123D catch.

I have an orthotics project going on that we want to try 3d printed model on broken wrist. I use educational version creo 3.0 parametric.
