First Scan to CAD Handoff
A measured path from the first point cloud to a usable mesh or CAD handoff, including cleanup, scale checks, dimensional verification, export choices, and file archiving.

From First Mesh to CAD: Choose the Right Export Without Guessing
Select STL, OBJ, 3MF, or another handoff by downstream task, then verify units, axes, mesh integrity, dependencies, and critical features.
-
Verify the First Scan: Scale, Dimensions, Holes, and Fine Edges
Check import units, gross scale, fitted planes, bore sections, fine edges, repaired areas, and repeatability before releasing a mesh.
Method / Shared baseline
Guides in this workflow use the same reference part and record every setup change. That makes the small differences useful to a first-time buyer.
