Using Point Cloud data in SolidWorks: Scan to 3D

SOLIDWORKS Premium allows you to take raw point cloud or mesh data directly from a 3D Scanner and use the data to create a SOLIDWORKS model from it. It is an easy to use wizard and an example of all the steps is shown in the video.

that was awesome......... i was struggling with scan to 3d in my project, this video changed helped me a lot.......... pure designing mate

@tejash21 It was a long time ago, but I remember it was a pain to do - I did use the ScanTo3D feature, and used the same 'wizard' to turn it into a solid, it took many attempts, try and keep it as simple as possible. .IGES files should also be possible to import into Solidworks, but when I tried with a complex shape, it just kept more and more RAM (I tried this on a computer with 24Gb of RAM)...

Thanks for the tutorial. Any advice on best practices to import this info to AutoCAD?

[@xedleachx]

Hi there, I have a relatively complex shape (a bone) and I have made it into a point cloud and imported it as a Surface Body - Is there an easy way to make this into a Solid Body suitable for using FEA to simulate it?

@xedleachx I have point cloud data for many human body structures. Did you ever find a solution?

[@bleedinfingers]

I have a point cloud I generated from a MATLAB script. Did *you* ever find a solution? ;)
