I have finally made a great scan on the MetroY Ultra. I would like and have been trying to import it in to Solidworks. When I export it in Revo Metro, should I do Point Cloud or Mesh Model?. I am assuming mesh model. Next for the origin, should I do model or original origin?
I have been trying to practice reengineering a part. What would be the steps I should follow? I cannot seem to make any planes on the exported model
I have just started to learn 3D scanning and the software. My question is I have been scanning metal parts and use the cross line scan laser function. I also place the dot makers blocks going around the parts. My scans come out pretty good but not finished. Can I just flip the part And start rescanning or do I have to start a new project before flipping?
Ever since I have upgraded to Unifi I can no longer air print or air drop from my iphone 16 pro max. The other 3 iphones in the house is having the same problems as I. I have an Epson 4850 printer. The air drop to my mac always bonks out. I made sure everything is connected to the same personal network. The iphone always wants send out, but it seems receiving is the issue with both. To me is seems like nothing is being sent through. Please help
I used to work as in the maintenance dept as a technician. I would run up to 480v drops to troubleshooting the dinky DC equipment. So I am experienced with my meter. My T5-1000 is slowly going bad. My speaker is already gone. I am no longer in maintenance, and have a Fluke 117 with a master accessory kit. It is a great meter that takes up alot of space in my tiny Kennedy toolbox. I am looking to downsize. I mainly need to test ac/dc voltage and continuity. I love the T5 but and was thinking about the gimmicky T6. I am not sold on it. I have a 16 year old who dabbles, so auto ac/dc is almost a must and just continuity. I can spend around 2-$300, on a new tester. Any recommendations?

So I got a 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation as my daily drive. I just had my first oil change with it. I am at almost 50,000 miles. The service manager told me that all this is due. I am in shock, and is this true as such a small interval? I don’t remember my other vehicles being serviced like this at 50,000 miles. I might be able to see if it was a police or plow truck, but for a daily driver…

We are thinking of getting a 3D scanner, as we have parts sometimes that don’t have a model that we need to assist on re-engineering. All these parts are typically steel.
My workflow, which I am new to the job, and no one has a workflow for this is to put the part on our copy/scanner with a black piece of foam board. I finally got a piece of foam board in today to try. The outline came out pretty good. I then put the file into Solidworks and manually sketch.
Is there some type of software I can put the tff file in before SolidWorks to help get a better outline?
Or next thought was getting a 3D scanner to help with assisting. Does anyone have a recommendation for a scanner? Almost all of our parts are most flat and typically .25” and thinner. How will the scanner react to such a thin part and shinny? My assumption is to use spray or blue light? Is that a good start?
Is this correct on the Mikuni VM22? The gate does not go all the way down and dead heads in there. Right now I have no throttle cable on it, so it is free floating. If I turn the gate the other way the spring needle cannot go in. Please help!
I work for a small job shop company that mainly uses SW. I asked and I am not able to upgrade SW to use their FEA. We sometimes create tables, push carts, and other small weldments out of tubing…example 2x2 or 2x4 welded frame tubing. I would like to put some of my designs through FEA. FreeCAD 1.1 was recommended to me. I am currently just starting with FC. I was unable to find any Youtube vid examples.
I am converting my tubing weldments into step files and opening them in FC. After doing some searching do I need to go into Parts WB and explode it? When I do, I get a ton of part files that is more than my SW file. Any suggestions or vids would be great. I am looking for the stress on the frame, FOS, my fixed joint is always the bottom of the tubing by the feet or casters, and I want to put a load on it to tell if I should beef up somewhere, etc

I am having one hell of a time with getting a vm122 adjusted set. I have a stage 2 racing from go power sports installed on my predator 212. This vm22 will only run on run not on choke, and when it does it goes full bore. I have adjusted everything I can with it. No leaks, different settings on carb. What jetts should I have or should I scrap the carb and try a different like a nibbi? If so which one and which jetts?
I have created a custom sheet metal gauge table with k-factor. I have gotten the gauge number, thickness, and bend radius working. I am still having to manually put in K-Factor and cannot get it working. Please help! The screenshot is from my excel file
So I am wondering if this can be done in SW.?At work we cut and weld a lot of tubing. Say for example steel 6x4x.25” tubing. On some projects we cut and weld the mitered corners. All are not butt welds.
With the recent addition of our tubing laser, we are cutting the v-notch thru 3 of the walls, bending, and welding. This has saved us a lot of money.
Question is, can a tubing profile be put into the sheet metal tab and come out with a bend and a so called flat pattern of the tubing showing the bending line location, have it notch it correctly, etc.
I am thinking no, but I want to see what can be done. If not, what would be the best way manually to accomplish this?
