Avoid STL File Repair

Avoid STL File Repair

While there are various ways to perform STL repair, it’s best to avoid it in the first place if you can. If you are starting with a CAD file, that’s where the diagnostic and repair process should start, before intelligent geometry is degraded into non-intelligent STL triangles. The further you get from the source information, the further you get from the original design. Just look at the data for yourself; CAD geometry is defined by cylinders, planes, arcs and lines, and can be measured precisely. STL geometry is just a congolmeration of triangles approximating the original CAD geometry. So by first making sure the CAD model is a quality watertight solid, you...

Leading Industrial Water Jet Manufacturer Uses TransMagic for Their Most Complex 3D CAD Data Translation and Repair Needs

Leading Industrial Water Jet Manufacturer Uses TransMagic for Their Most Complex 3D CAD Data Translation and Repair Needs

OMAX, a manufacturer of abrasive water jets for machine shops, fabricators and manufacturing companies, discusses how they use TransMagic to solve 3D CAD data problems. Abrasive waterjet cutting is impressive. These sophisticated machines can cut a large range of materials with ease and accuracy, from extremely hard metals to volatile substances, using only water and an abrasive. With the wide range of materials they can cut, industrial waterjets are often used with complex geometries. This is a story of how OMAX and TransMagic work together to solve complex 3D CAD data problems. When Problems Exist in the 3D Data Model OMAX’s CNC software is Intelli-MAX. It...
