Using Point Cloud data in SolidWorks: Scan to 3D

[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?

@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)...
