[Example] CAD model generation from engine block STL data

Even with complex shapes, you can obtain smooth and highly accurate CAD data by combining crease editing!

Software that responds to the many requests from customers for "CAD return" We will introduce a case of outputting CAD data from STL data using "S-Generator." For the crease settings, we prioritize the extraction of the analysis surface first, outlining holes and other features with creases while extracting cylindrical and planar surfaces, which are then recognized as analysis surfaces after CAD data output. After that, we add creases in the desired locations where we want corners to appear on the resulting surfaces. Additionally, various analysis surfaces such as cylindrical and planar surfaces are color-coded differently from the regular crease lines, making verification easy. 【Case Overview】 ■STL Model - Engine Block- ・Number of triangular patches: 492,886 ■Time taken for crease settings and analysis surface extraction: 4 hours (manual work) *For more details, please refer to the detailed materials available for download as a PDF or feel free to contact us.
