From unworkable mesh to manufacturable model in Autodesk Fusion
Watch how we take a 1.2-million-facet scan file, clean it up, and convert it into a fully workable solid model in Autodesk Fusion.
If you work with 3D scan data, reverse engineering, or additive manufacturing, you've probably hit this wall: an imported mesh file so dense it grinds Autodesk Fusion to a halt. In this video, our Fusion expert, Fred Van Der Merwe, will walk you through cleaning up a model when this happens, checking mesh health, reducing facet count without losing detail, correcting scale, and converting the mesh into a solid model ready for parametric modelling and 3D printing.
What you'll see:
- Diagnosing a mesh file's health and facet count
- Reducing complexity in two passes for more control over detail
- Fixing the common 10:1 scale issue on scanned STL files
- Converting mesh to solid and picking up standard Fusion modelling tools
- Exporting for 3D printing or straight into Fusion's manufacturing workspace
