I will convert 3d scan stl mesh into editable solidworks step cad models


About this gig
Stuck with an STL or 3D scan you cannot edit or manufacture from? Get usable CAD, not a mesh renamed as STEP.
I reverse engineer scanned mechanical parts into editable SolidWorks models and clean STEP solids for CNC machining, prototyping and product redesign. Send STL, OBJ, PLY or scan data for assessment.
WHAT I OFFER
- STL and mesh to solid CAD reconstruction
- Editable, feature-based SolidWorks parts
- STEP files for supplier handoff
- Critical hole and mating geometry
- Scan alignment and dimension checks
- Mesh cleanup before rebuilding
- PDF manufacturing drawings
- Deviation notes for critical features
WHY HIRE ME
- Fit-focused engineering approach
- Real CAD reconstruction, not file renaming
- Clear accuracy limitations
- Manufacturability-minded geometry
- Confidential handling
- Defined milestones and revisions
TOOLS I USE
- SolidWorks
- Fusion 360
- MeshLab
Message me your scan, required tolerances and intended use before ordering so I can confirm scope and price.

FAQ
Can you start immediately?
I can review your 3D scan or mesh promptly and confirm my next available start date after checking its complexity and required deliverables.
What files do I need to provide?
Send your STL, OBJ, PLY, mesh or compatible scan data, along with reference dimensions, photographs and known tolerances. Large point-cloud datasets should be discussed before ordering.
Can you sign an NDA?
Yes. I can review a mutually acceptable NDA before beginning confidential product or mechanical-part reconstruction.
What file formats will I receive?
STEP and SolidWorks SLDPRT are the main formats. I can also provide IGES, STL, PDF drawings and other compatible formats, depending on the package.
Can you work from sketches or ideas?
Yes. I can use sketches, drawings and measurements alongside scans. If there is no existing scan, the work may be priced as a separate CAD modeling project.
Do you provide editable source files?
Yes. Native SolidWorks files are included. Basic covers simple reconstructed features, while Standard and Premium allow more detailed parametric feature modeling.
Can you handle large or ongoing projects?
Yes. Multi-part assemblies, large scans and recurring reverse-engineering projects can be quoted through custom offers with separate milestones and deliverables.
