I’m working with a complex mold that I scanned using the Revopoint MetroY Ultra CMM scanner and processed the scan data into a mesh file. The mold has some difficult-to-model surface geometry, and I’m looking for an easy and accurate way to convert the scan data into a STEP file that I can use in CAD. What workflows or software would you recommend for converting a mesh scan into a usable STEP model, especially when the geometry is complex and would be difficult to manually remodel? Are there any tools or techniques within the Revopoint software or other CAD/reverse-engineering programs that make this process easier while preserving the accuracy of the original scan?

Its a manual process, there is not convertor.

Hi @Ericcamacho

I agree with @Xile6 it would be too good to have a converter and skip all the manual work .

Yes, I agree, this would take a fair amount of manual reverse engineering 3d modelling.
