About this gig
From Mesh to Manufacturable: Get a Fully Editable CAD Model
If you've got a 3D scan, an STL from a broken source file, or a mesh from a competitor's part you know the problem: it's just triangles. You can't edit it, you can't add features, you can't send it to a machinist or update a tolerance without starting from scratch.
That's what I fix. I take your unstructured mesh (STL, OBJ, PLY) and reconstruct it into a true parametric, feature-based CAD model in STEP/STP format the kind of file you can actually open, edit, and modify like it was built natively in SolidWorks or Fusion 360.
Full CAD reconstruction:
- Surface fitting and geometry analysis of your scan or mesh
- Rebuilding native features: extrudes, revolves, fillets, chamfers, patterns
- Reconstructing a clean, editable feature tree (not a dumb solid)
- Dimensional accuracy verification against your original mesh
- Delivery in STEP (STP), plus native SolidWorks/Fusion/Inventor on request
I work daily in SolidWorks and have handled everything from simple mechanical brackets to complex organic/scanned surfaces. Send me your file and I'll tell you honestly whether it's a clean reconstruction.

FAQ
What file formats can you work with as input?
STL, OBJ, PLY, and most 3D scan exports. If your file is in a different mesh format, message me and I'll confirm compatibility.
Will the output be a "real" CAD file or just a converted mesh wrapped in STEP format?
A real, fully parametric feature tree — extrudes, fillets, revolves, etc. — that you can edit like a native model. This is true reconstruction, not a mesh-to-STEP export shortcut.
How accurate will the dimensions be to my original scan/mesh?
I match critical dimensions within a tight tolerance (typically ±0.1-0.5mm depending on mesh quality) and can provide a deviation/accuracy report as an add-on.
My mesh has messy/noisy scan data — can you still work with it?
Yes, but send it over first. Noisy scans may need cleanup before reconstruction, which can affect timeline — I'll flag this upfront, not after you've paid.
Can you handle organic or freeform surfaces, not just mechanical parts?
Yes, using surface modeling techniques, though highly organic shapes (sculptural, anatomical) may need a specialized surfacing approach — let's discuss your specific file first.
