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!
Glad it was helpful! With Rhino 7, the ability to speed up the reverse engineering process is a huge advantage for me. I used to do much reverse engineering work and it was tedious with the older versions of Rhino. To me, this tool alone (Quadremesh) is worth the upgrade as similar reverse engineering tools are very expensive.
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
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. Regards
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.
I have did that before (using real scanned data).. it works. However, I will have to fill up holes first using a mesh tool such as Mesh mixer. The reason for not using a scanned data is because I do not have one that I am allowed to use.. all the scanned datas that I have are from clients for their reverse engineering project...hence bounded by legal agreements. And I do not have a 3D scanner. Because of this, I have to resort to using 3D mesh model that is created by myself for this video demo. Cheers.
yes, I know that many scan files are confidental; but I wanted to see the performance of this tool on real scans which have irregular surfaces; It seems to be a very useful tool and looks much better than many other auto surface tools; thank you for the introduction; I am planning to install the trial version of Rhino and give a try myself :)
@@ataarturk2411 Bro, this is the tool i was using to fix the scanned data. meshmixer.com/download.html To be honest, I don't think it is possible to take freshly scanned data and convert them into NURBS. This free tool is quite useful for smoothing and autofilling of holes. cheers.
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
Hi, ehmmm... i think point cloud will be more tricky. I know in Grasshopper point cloud can be converted to mesh using the Delauney component. Perhap, need to use Grasshopper for process the point cloud to mesh and then process to use the process as illustrated in this video. Cheers.
This is Not Reverse Engineering of Scanned Data It is merely translation of an stl file to cad (the file is previously converted from CAD or other type to STL mesh). It is important to note that scanning will not produce perfect mesh or polygonal model, even with the greatest technological advancements; so the scan needs repair. This whole process may be applicable to items with large tolerance of 0.125" and more. Accuracy of the produced cad file is utmost important in many industries. This software and the operator do not show capability to accuracy. Don't kid your self, there is no 5 minutes reverse engineering as well as scanning. It takes time to preproduce the scanned object to a useable cad file with decent accuracy. Other software packages depend on engineering work such as sketching and solid modeling from the scanned data. So far I have not found or seen a comparative way in this software to do reverse engineering. It may be good for other tasks but not what the title of this video says. Get a real scanned data with holes and other imperfections, repair it, prep it, and than show me the same steps as you did in the video. Cheers to all, DR
@@simpernchong can you turn into nurbs and then add/remove gems then turn back to stl. I honestly don’t know but I think it’s possible. If not then ok.
that disclaimer makes me feel like i'm gonna be put on trial if i try these commands. yikes! however... the video was quite worth it. so maybe #worthit

Your videos have saved me so many times i've lost count. So helpful and informative. I can never thank you enough.
You are so welcome!
Rhino 7 is great value for the buck. This is going to make reverse engineering more affordable.

Wow.. sounds interesting. Glad it was useful 😁
Just started with Rhino, and this WAS FIRST helpful video in NURBS objects!
Thank you :)
learned more from Asian Man on UA-cam than I have from anywhere else.
Thank you Sir for the compliment 😆
That’s objectively racist, would you call a channel “Black Men”
my friend you've SAVED me. Thank you so much...... If you come to Greece let me know and I'll buy you a beer or 2
LOL... thanks for the offer. Really appreciate it.
Have a nice day :)
Great video buddy! The only one to explain this, in fact.
Thanks. Glad you think so!
This is very helpful thanks for the guide! I look forward to upgrading to version 7 soon

Can may wish to subscribe to this channel as I will be putting out tutorials related to Sub-D
i hope you do more reverse engineering tutorials
