 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....

 

@gt22 and you didn't see the box sold with ;)

Well seen for 

for creating a model using an image (all you need is a dimension)

but this retype the whole design........; -(

I posted a tutorial here

Have you asked @ Fred if there is anything he can do for you

 

PS: to talk about headphones, before (being younger) I had a stax that I still regret

show us the rest is haute couture from a big brand

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

32

@ 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.
