I manually cleaned up some of the edges and added some surfaces to fix this issue.Īs you can see I still ended up splitting the large goat piece in order to minimise support material, printing the body piece upside down with the legs in the air and gluing the head back on later. Because 93% is a huge reduction, the resulting mesh did have some gaps where the software didn’t know what to do, so was not watertight (manifold) and ready to 3D print.It’s also possible to do this type of low-poly conversion using the free software MeshLab, just click here to read one of my previous posts about how to do this. I reduced mine by about 93%, resulting in the low-poly model shown above. Use the “ Reduce Mesh” tool in Rhino to reduce the number of faces of the mesh.The model in the image above on the left is the imported model from Solidworks (yes you could just model the design in Rhino to begin with, however I knew I could get to this point much faster in Solidworks). Export the final model from Solidworks as a.I also created some guide lines to ensure that my model would fit onto my desktop 3D printer without needing to scale later. Use this line-work to base your 3D modeling off. dxf file, providing accurate 2D line-work to use in the 3D CAD model (you could just bring the image directly into your CAD software if you prefer).
