Rhino 7 Basic Reverse Engineering Tutorial: STL to CAD (NURBS)

#Rhino7tutorial #Reverseengineering #meshtoNURBS #STLtoCAD
This is a Rhino 7 Tutorial about converting STL mesh model to CAD (NURBS format). This type of process is of relevance to Reverse Engineering works. It may be useful for the conversion of 3D scanned data into usable NURBS-based surface model.

Commands covered include the following:
Quadremesh
ToSubD
ToNURBS

Your videos have saved me so many times i've lost count. So helpful and informative. I can never thank you enough.

Just started with Rhino, and this WAS FIRST helpful video in NURBS objects!

[jtylert]

Thank you for this tutorial. It helped me solve a problem for making an electrode from an stl file that needed to be nurbs to make a curve from an intersection so I could extrude a straight part. So helpful!

Rhino 7 is great value for the buck. This is going to make reverse engineering more affordable.

my friend you've SAVED me. Thank you so If you come to Greece let me know and I'll buy you a beer or 2

[carstenpfundt]

learned more from Asian Man on Youtube than I have from anywhere else.

[donpayne]

Great video buddy! The only one to explain this, in fact.

[tleasca]

This is very helpful thanks for the guide! I look forward to upgrading to version 7 soon

[mryasuo]

i hope you do more reverse engineering tutorials

[jaranedaaran]

Very useful video... helped me not give up...thanks!

Thank for the video. I'm a professional in reverse engineering. However, this method is not suitable for recognising surfaces with e.g. dimensioned radii. However, this is needed in technical objects that require high dimensional accuracy for industrial production. For visual objects that are required for games, for example, this works fine. It will probably take a few more versions for such properties to be recognised automatically. Even with V8 this does not yet work satisfactorily. Nevertheless, this function is also used by me. Good that gives it to us.

this is the best tuto ever seen thanks a lot

[ataarturk]

your mesh seems to be converted from a cad file so this is the reason the functions works fine; I would use a real scan data exported from a scanner software and retry.

How can we convert an mesh solid to an solid in order to save it as step cause now i only can save the geometry that i create as an stl file while i need it as step plz help me

[serdarklnc]

Hi, thanks a lot for the video. How can it be used for reverse engineering of 3d scan data. Could you please elaborate? I work with point clouds and getting into modeling lately.. Thanks in advance

[andreeca]

Great video as allways !! Thank you! <3

[larryfroot]

Excellent and to the point. Thank you.

Hi, what version of Rhino does the SubdTool get introduced.

[SandeepSingh-]

I need help to convert my blender file to step as an editable file in solidworks.

[marcusboyd]

Can you do a video on adding gems on stl
