I just tested opening the .stl with the 3 options.
Only the graphic body works because I have an error message on the number of surfaces to be processed for the others.
There may be something else because of the origin of the file made under bender

To my knowledge and via the # fofo you are in the doldrums
it is only a graphical representation and will block on the number of faces to be processed

@Fab I'm in the premium version I'll try
@fabrice_A: 3D scan does not change anything for the stl file. Unless I missed an option.
On the other hand, cf: http://grabcad.com/questions/tutorial-how-to-edit-stl-file-imported-into-solidworks
With the option that goes well you get a part.

Stupid question: you can't afford to ask your customers for another format?

In cases where SolidWorks can't do it, maybe the video method of my first message can work, but you have to download MeshLab in addition (free):
@opiep27 I don't understand the remark? There is almost no option to import an STL file with ScanTo3D by merging meshes, units, texture import
In file open you should not take *. STL but Mesh Files... and to have Mesh Files you need ScanTo3D.
@SEPM. Gerald:SW 2013/14 otherwise there is a way to provide me with the STL file .? I will see what can be done.
Hello
@Fabrice_A is completely right, without Scan to 3D, it's impossible to do anything with STL which is a mesh file (you just have to display the shaded plus edge mode) to realize it.
So scan to 3d allows you to make real surfaces from your meshes (smoothed, swept, cone, flat sphere, ) which will allow the end of the end to have a solid.
Be careful, if the shape is relatively simple, it is still much faster to recreate it.

On the other hand, for me the @opiep27 method is impossible with a triangular mesh stl, which is the majority of stls!
What Wiki says
The STL file format is a format used in stereolithography software . This format was developed by the company 3D Systems. This file format is used by many other companies. It is widely used for rapid prototyping and computer-aided manufacturing. The STL file format only describes the surface geometry of an object in 3 dimensions. In particular, this format does not include information about the color, texture, or other usual parameters of a computer-aided design model.

@benoit. Yew
The other formats are OBJ and 3DS. So the same. Designate him work under bender
@Coyotte The shape is not simple at all because it is an STL of an assembly
For less mystery it's a luxury headphone, whose components I have to redesign to make the "mechanical connection"
Let's say that for all the pieces I didn't have any problems because I only had the external shape as a constraint of which I was given the dimensions to respect and I had free rein for the rest. But my big problem is the headband. I have no usable odds. No bending angle and I have to go for a model designed under Bender to make the measurements.
I think the easiest solution will be to train myself on this software to try to get something out of it.
I attached the rendering of what I redrew

Given the shape I think that with scan to 3d as Fab said it won't break any problem, once imported you just have to use the mesh and then surface assistant
Hello
In view of the shape and especially at the level of the headband, Scan to 3D would be perfect, it will be perfectly capable of recreating the appropriate surface shapes.
Practice on a tutorial and try to reproduce it on your form.

It's beautiful............it's super nice
why not ask Fred nicely
if it can convert it to you under Catia and it sends you back a compatible file
catia SW it works pretty well in my knowledge
but it's in surface area from what I could understand

.stl is a mesh disaster, but on the other hand I have a .3DS file that worked.... But it's extracted in Meter
I made an equisse on a plan to then extract it and take dimensions....

Hi all
Another solution that is a bit tedious but worth a try is to go through FreeCAD, a free CAD software.
You have to save as an OBJ in Blender, then open this file in FreeCAD (format directly recognized by FreeCAD) to create a STEP or an IGES:

@lucas
I'm going to try freecad, but already the export in igs or step seems to be causing problems
@ Lucas I can't export with FreeCAD but there is potential
I'm going to close the question with @fabrice-a's proposal because thanks to the mesh I managed to redraw a sketch that allows me to have the angles.
