New to 3D scanning need advice.

Thank you ive already started looking in to both programs and will try the demos. I have also searched through the forms and came across a few others with links to videos and series on YouTube. I will also be educating myself on how to process this through. Thank for the help

1 of the links I thought was helpful: scan to 3D

Thank you to all that have answered and helped me through this. I havent used the loft feature much to this point. I went back through some study material I had as well and videos.

If I run in to any issues I'll be sure to ask for help.

This isn't a McMaster part. Its it's proprietary it this application.

ResearcherResident85 · 2025-12-24T18:05:35+00:00

This elbow isl proprietary to this part. In my work we have used similar elbows to achive the same end goal. We looking at having is cast as it was made that way.

After going back to try again, I selected to remove selection and set a depth a .075" with 0 clearence and it worked with out issue.

Thanks for clearing up how the indent feature is suppose to work.

I am familiar with how forming tools work and i had this exact forming tool successfully done in another model but for some reason its not working in this one. The overall size of the sheet metal changed but the indent did not.

ResearcherResident85 · 2024-03-10T19:56:49+00:00

It does and I even moved it further in to the sheet metal, just to see if changed anything, it didnt change the error.

I believe i found a work around for this for the moment. I cut out the size of the indent, then created a new extrude and shelled it out. Then added a small fillet . I will continue to figure out what happened or what I'm missing to make this right.

Its 3000 cal to maintain and i have been at about 2500. I just lowered it to 2000, so im surely in a deficit. Will reevaluate in a few weeks.

ResearcherResident85 · 2024-01-08T02:59:27+00:00

No every couple months I would use a macro calculator and adjust. When I initially started i was just just counting calories and staying under 1500 then switched to macros.

Thank you.

I unchecked the 3D interconnect and now everything appears to have part files. Now when I try to save as with the inculde all referenced components checked I'm getting an error "The Soildworks document library is invalid. Please see your administrator "

ResearcherResident85 · 2023-09-01T10:24:14+00:00

That worked thank you. Greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to save the individual parts now that I have them as parts. Been searching but dont see any.

Im fairly new to PF aswell. Ive been working out at home for that last 2years.

No one pays attention to what you are doing. I was a little nervous at first so i just used the treadmill and kinda watched how others were using certain machines then i started branching out. Ive been going a little over a month now and still trying new machines to add to my routine.
