SpongeBob and Reverse Engineering

Self-education entails studying reverse engineering software in detail. I opted for a different software and began by selecting the most suitable tool to automatically convert point clouds into surfaces. Tsplines for Rhino was eliminated due to its large file size (406 MB), while Geomagic Design X was disqualified due to poor surface quality. Moving forward, I had to ensure that the rebuilt solid model contained a history that matched native formats like Solidworks, Inventor, or Creo. To achieve this, I used Delcam Power Sharpe (which I found unsuitable) and Geomagic Design X. While creating a solid model is relatively straightforward, transferring it to native solid-state program formats can be challenging due to various errors that may halt the process. I successfully converted the model to Autodesk Inventor format but encountered difficulties when converting it to SolidWorks and Creo Parametric formats. In conclusion, reverse engineering demands specific skills and is a time-consuming endeavor best left to professional paid services.
