Скачать или смотреть Reverse Engineering in FreeCAD: From Mesh to STEP File

First of all, many thanks to Summer Scott for his contribution to FreeCad.
We have great respect for the fact that he has re-familiarised himself with FreeCad for us.

In this video, I explore unique Reverse Engineering workflows in FreeCAD that are rarely covered. Since it’s been nearly 10 years since I last used FreeCAD, you’ll see me navigating the learning curve and adapting to its specific logic compared to modern CAD software.

​Key Highlights:
​Workflow Alternatives: How to use specific FreeCAD tools to achieve results similar to QuickSurface.

​Organic Geometry: Techniques for extracting complex, freeform shapes from mesh data.

​Process & Strategy: A transparent look at fumbling through the workflow to find effective strategies for organic modeling.

01:25 Create Mesh Segments at
02:56 Approximate B-Spline Surface at
21:27 Then finally using that B spline surface to split the modeled body at

The way I got this to work seems like a less than ideal solution which puts the split body outside of the original component model and body I was working in, but my current understanding is that this has to do with some existing shortcomings in how FreeCad works with surfaces but I hope showing this video to the FreeCad community can get input on the best practices way to try to achieve this end result using the existing capability in FreeCad.
