Scan 3D

Hello

I have a 3D scan of a fender in STL format and I would like to know if it is possible to "convert" it into a part that would be modifiable on solidworks.

Thank you in advance.

in theory YES

with STL attached

it would be simpler for a + relevant answer

Like gt22, it's possible if you share your file we could take a look at it.

Here is the play

and if you manage to convert it, please tell me the process

After several tests, the motorcycle mudguard is not modifiable because it only opens in graphic version. DSL

Hello

Not great time to look at it but here is the part.

may the force be with you.

Hello

I use graphic files as a basis for our modeling of complex parts, (no parameterization search by parameterized equation using the calculation desk).

The solution to your problem exists, but you need a lot of computing power.

The principle is to convert your graphics body (STL source of your scan)

Use the SOLIDWORKS SLICING feature.

Generate your different envelope sections of your template.

Create a surface generated by your different planes and the guide curve(s). That's it! Have a good weekend to you.

Hello

Simpler, an alternative solution is to set up your STL graphics block as soon as it opens for import.

As an option, you can choose a volume body.

Do not check options for the mesh body.

All Solidworks features will be enabled.

Good job

Hello

Yes, the size is limited by the SOLIDWORKS program, your file must be processed upstream by  https://www.meshmixer.com/download.html

100 MB to download is free.

Then you can work on your piece.

Kind regards.

Hello

With your size 200 MB, meshmixer is struggling, on the other hand with simplify3D, you will get a result.

1st try big reduction in the number of triangles............... 450 KB (200 MB)

Import into SOLIDWORKS With the density body selection, the process obtains 232 surface bodies and 160 volume bodies.

I don't know the maximum size of the import, you have to proceed by dichotomy or be lucky.

File attachment.

Good luck!
