I will reverse engineer or convert stl to step for 3d modelling


About this gig
I will reverse engineer your 3D scan, converting STL mesh to STEP and 2D drawings
About This Gig
Do you have a 3D scanned file (STL/OBJ) that you need to edit or manufacture, but its just a "dumb" mesh? I will convert your raw scan data into precise, editable, and manufacturable CAD models.
As a Mechanical Engineer, I specialize in reverse engineering. I don't just "auto-surface" your model; I rebuild it parametrically so you have a clean, professional solid body (STEP) that is ready for CNC machining, molding, or further design work.
What I can do for you:
- Mesh to Solid Conversion: Convert high-poly STL/Mesh files into clean STEP/IGES formats.
- Reverse Engineering: Recreate scanned parts into fully editable parametric 3D CAD models.
- Technical Documentation: Create professional 2D technical drawings for manufacturing.
- Manufacturing (Premium): Not only will I design the part, but I can also handle the production procedure
️ Please Note: Reverse engineering complex organic shapes or damaged scans can be difficult. Please contact me before placing an order so I can review your file and ensure I can deliver the best results.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
What kind of STL/Scan files can you work with?
I can work with most 3D scan data (STL, OBJ, PLY). However, for the best results, the scan should be clear with minimal noise. If your file has significant holes or missing data, please send it to me via message before ordering so I can confirm if it is repairable.
Can you reverse engineer organic shapes (like faces, statues, or artistic sculptures)?
My expertise is in Mechanical Engineering. I specialize in "prismatic" shapes—parts with defined geometry like planes, cylinders, and holes (e.g., gears, brackets, casings).
Does the Premium package price include the manufacturing cost and shipping?
Premium package covers the design work and manufacturing setup/coordination. Because material costs (e.g., aluminum vs. plastic) and shipping rates vary wildly, the actual cost of production and shipping will be calculated and sent to you as a Custom Offer or add-on once we finalize the design.
Where do you ship the physical parts?
I can ship internationally. However, delivery times and shipping costs will vary depending on your location. Please contact me with your country and zip code beforehand so I can give you an accurate shipping estimate.
Will the final 3D model be an "auto-surfaced" patch or a solid body?
I provide high-quality, manual reverse engineering. This means I rebuild the part feature-by-feature. You will receive a clean, editable Solid Body (STEP/IGES), not just a "shrink-wrapped" surface over the mesh. This is essential if you plan to machine or modify the part later.
What if my scan is slightly warped or broken?
I can often deduce the "design intent." For example, if a hole scans as 9.8mm due to shrinkage, I will likely model it as 10.0mm (standard engineering size), unless you instruct me to copy the scan exactly as is.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. As a professional engineer, I treat all intellectual property with strict confidentiality. I am happy to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) if required.
Do you offer 3D scanning service?
Yes, we do on additional cost.
