I will reverse engineer stl 3d scans to editable step cad in solidworks


About this gig
Need to convert an STL, OBJ or 3D scan into editable CAD?
I reverse engineer scanned mechanical parts into accurate 3D models for redesign, CNC machining, 3D printing and manufacturing review.
WHAT I OFFER
- STL to STEP CAD reconstruction
- 3D scan and mesh to parametric CAD
- Reverse engineering mechanical parts
- Broken or missing part reconstruction
- CAD remodeling from photos and dimensions
- Mounting holes, surfaces and fitment corrections
- Existing CAD modification and part redesign
WHAT I DELIVER
- Clean, dimensioned 3D CAD geometry
- STEP, STL and agreed native CAD files
- Editable SolidWorks SLDPRT or Fusion 360 models
- Front, side and isometric CAD views
- Technical drawings in selected packages
- Agreed revisions and geometry checks
TOOLS
- SolidWorks
- Fusion 360
- compatible mesh processing workflows
I focus on critical dimensions, functional geometry and organized CAD files. Scan accuracy and manufacturing suitability depend on your input data and specifications

FAQ
Can you convert my STL file into an editable STEP or SolidWorks model?
Yes. I can reconstruct suitable geometry into an editable CAD model, rather than simply changing the file extension. Complexity depends on the mesh quality and the required features.
Can you reverse engineer a 3D scanned mechanical part?
Yes. Provide the scan data, reference photos and important dimensions. I can inspect the geometry, recreate the required features and export agreed CAD formats.
Do you support STL, OBJ, STEP, IGES and SolidWorks files?
STL and OBJ can be used as mesh references. STEP, IGES and native CAD outputs are available where supported by the reconstruction workflow and selected package.
Can you reconstruct missing or broken mechanical components?
Yes, when there is sufficient information. Measurements, assembly photographs and reference geometry may be needed to recover missing features accurately.
Can you prepare reverse engineered parts for CNC machining or 3D printing?
Yes. I can develop CAD for manufacturing review and agreed export formats. The manufacturer must verify tolerances, material suitability and final production requirements.
Can you edit mounting holes, threads, shafts, brackets or curved surfaces?
Yes. These features can be modeled or corrected using supplied dimensions. Complex threads, free-form surfaces or assemblies may require additional work.
