    Description

    3D scanning is more accessible than ever, with consumer and prosumer scanners flooding the market. But the real challenge begins after the scan is complete. Raw STL files are often heavy, messy, and filled with artifacts especially when capturing organic subjects like the human body. In this session, we'll dive deep into Meshmixer software, the ultimate Swiss army knife for STL manipulation. We'll cover essential scan triage, basic cleanup, and targeted reconstruction techniques to repair complex holes and smooth organic artifacts. Then we'll transition into Autodesk Fusion software to enable reverse engineering workflows. We'll explore techniques to accurately build and drive solid parametric models on top of your scanned data.

    Key Learnings

    • Learn how to clean and repair messy 3D scan data, especially organic models, using Autodesk Meshmixer.
    • Learn how to apply STL reconstruction techniques to optimize mesh files for downstream engineering.
    • Learn how to import, scale, and align optimized mesh data into Autodesk Fusion (formerly Fusion 360) for reverse engineering.
    • Learn how to use raw mesh files as static geometric templates to drive the creation of solid models.
