    Reverse Engineer my guitar neck

    I'm not sure how to send a pm on here Daniel, but here is a better blueprint. I don't need the fretboard, just the neck. In fact, all I really need is the back radius side of the neck and volute's matching my neck to head and heel sides. Something like below only just where the cutter needs to...

    Reverse Engineer my guitar neck

    Thank you Daniel, I have the blueprints for it all but I'm sure I won't be able to nail the Volute radiuses, and intersect them.I can also do a silhouette boundary as shown below and build, but still can't do the transitions 2 rail sweeps or something, too tough for me.

    Reverse engineer a scanned 3d guitar neck stl file

    It is all faceted surfaces, that I can't trim to the area I don't want to cut on the head and foot of the neck. I tried building blocks for the cutter to stay away from as shown below but still overlaps the heel and head.

    Reverse Engineer my guitar neck

    I tried it all, ha ha. Solidworks, Meshcam Geomagic Freecad Catia Mastercam AutoCAD Hypermesh and Maya, I even tried some take 100 pics of it and it will be a solid software. Any help will be great. This is my Catia attempt with auto surface recognition.

    Reverse Engineer my guitar neck

    This is the area I would like a solid so I could hemstitch it without running up over the headstock and foot where the triangle surfaces overhang.

    Reverse Engineer my guitar neck

    Hi everyone, I tried it all, I had this neck digital scanned but I can't machine some of it because of the faceted surfaces over running other ones. Any help would be great.

    Reverse engineer a scanned 3d guitar neck stl file

    I have tried Catia Solidworks AutoCAD Geomagic Hypermesh Meshlab Freecad Mastercam Spaceclaim Rhino and Maya and several software's that take 70 photos to make a solid. All failed me, maybe it's just me, ha ha. Any help would be great.

    Reverse engineer a scanned 3d guitar neck stl file

    Thank you very much for trying, it is still full of facets that show when you drag the mouse over it.

    Reverse engineer a scanned 3d guitar neck stl file

    I took Jim's repaired model, put auto surface on it, added closed surface in Catia, but still have all the facets, see orange on the head. Any help would be great.

    Reverse engineer a scanned 3d guitar neck stl file

    Hi Jim, thank you for trying, I need a solid model to machine the part, without the facets. This is what you sent me.

    Reverse engineer a scanned 3d guitar neck stl file

    Hi Jim, here is an igs file, I also have it as solidworks formats, catia Autodesk, etc etc. Thank you for your time. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=dad7ae35-f2bf-4631-95bc-37aef45622c4&file=ATT_STEVE_SW_Guitar_Neck.zip

    This is my ball of yarn so to speak, tough to hemstitch.

    Reverse engineer a scanned 3d guitar neck stl file

    Hi everyone, I tried it all and failed, is it possible to make a solid or surface out of all of the triangle surfaces so I can machine it. All I really need is the radius side of the neck to the foot and head without violating those areas. Just the grey area, except where the surfaces over run...

    Thank you very much. I'll post a pic and model of the result when completed.

    Help with an stl file reverse engineering into a solid or surface

    That is perfect, could you save it as .igs or .stp by chance?. Thank you all for the help on this.

    Help with an stl file reverse engineering into a solid or surface

    Thank you for the help guys, I'm very close on this now, just have one area close to the heel that needs attention. This is from what Gunman sent me.

    Help with an stl file reverse engineering into a solid or surface

    Dave, this might work perfect, pushing it around, trying to get it normal to the original surface, otherwise, this is exactly what I need. Thank you for the help.

    Help with an stl file reverse engineering into a solid or surface

    All I need is one solid or one surface to machine just the neck radius areas and transitions, but currently full of facets.
