Convert STL Files into Editable CAD Models I have several .STL files for cartoon-style animals and forest elements. I am looking for an experienced 3D CAD or reverse-engineering specialist to convert or rebuild these files into clean, editable surface or solid models. The completed models should allow me to: Create section views Split models into multiple parts Modify dimensions and shapes Add connectors, holes, wall thickness, fillets, and chamfers Prepare the parts for 3D printing and future product development A simple STL-to-STEP conversion with thousands of triangular faces is not acceptable. I need properly reconstructed CAD surfaces or solid geometry. Preferred software includes Geomagic Design X, Rhino with Mesh2Surface, QUICKSURFACE, SolidWorks, Fusion, Creo, or similar professional software. Deliverables: Editable native CAD file STEP or Parasolid file Updated STL file Clean, sectionable surface or solid geometry Model scaled and oriented correctly I would like to begin with one animal or forest component as a paid sample. Successful completion may lead to additional models. All files and completed designs must remain confidential and become the client’s property after payment.

Hi. I have worked on similar stl to CAD remodelling in the past and will happily provide examples of pieces I have worked on. These have involved reverse engineering small toys and functional parts, up to 1m+ pieces for art installations and life size sculptures. I have often had to break parts into segments for manufacture and building in ways to make assembly straightforward. What is the final intended scale of the designs? How do you intend to manufacture them? Is the bid for all the pieces or just for the initial test piece? Looking forward to discussing it with you in greater detail. Regards Chris

Hi! I convert STL mesh files into clean, editable parametric CAD models in Fusion 360, including a recent project rebuilding 3D scan meshes into fully sectionable solid bodies ready for modification and 3D printing. Check my Freelancer profile for examples. For cartoon-style organic shapes I would rebuild the geometry as proper solid bodies with clean surfaces, not a mesh import, so you can add wall thickness, connectors, holes, fillets, and split parts freely. Happy to start with one animal as a paid sample to confirm the approach before proceeding with the full set.

Hello, I can help you convert your STL files into clean, fully editable CAD models. I have experience rebuilding STL meshes into accurate surface and solid models using SolidWorks. Rather than simply converting the mesh, I create clean, feature-based geometry that is easy to modify and suitable for future design changes, manufacturing, or 3D printing. For your cartoon-style animals and forest elements, I will: - Rebuild each model as a clean, editable solid or surface model. - Preserve the original shape and proportions. - Deliver high-quality STEP and SolidWorks files (or any format you require). - Ensure smooth geometry with attention to detail. I am committed to clear communication, timely delivery, and high-quality work. I'd be happy to review one of your STL files and provide an estimate before we begin. I look forward to working with you. Best regards, Gurtej Singh

Hello, The goal here is not just to get geometry out of an STL file but to have models that actually behave like CAD, where you can section, split, and modify them without fighting mesh artifacts. That distinction matters a lot for cartoon-style organic shapes because the surfaces need to be rebuilt with intent, not just wrapped automatically. For a project like this, my starting point would be manual surface reconstruction using reference curves pulled from the mesh, then building clean solid geometry from those surfaces in a way that holds up when you add wall thickness, connectors, or fillets later. Starting with one animal as a paid sample is a sensible approach and it gives us both a chance to confirm the output meets your standard before going further. Feel free to send one of the files so we can discuss what the reconstruction involves. Kind regards Andile
