![]() ![]() This is the likely scenario if you’re seeking to recreate a static part you found as a nice adjustable parametric model. Now you can edit it! Or, depending on the quality of the conversion, you may just want to use the imported model as a reference for a fresh sketch. Select the new part studio tab to view the imported model: After another moment, a second new tab will appear, this one marked with a regular part studio icon: Accept the default import processing options (or whatever):Īfter a moment of uploading, a new tab representing the raw extruder-plate.stp file will appear. Select Import:įind the STEP file previously exported from FreeCAD. (You may need to switch to the 'Model' tab in the Combo View and select your shape object.) Change to the PartDesign workbench. OnshapeĬlick the “+” icon in the bottom left of your Onshape document to add a new tab. Import STL (File -> Import) Part workbench -> Create shape from mesh Part workbench -> Shape builder. Select STEP format from the file type menu in the save dialog and accept the default tolerance if prompted: Go to the Part menu again and select Export CAD: Go to the Part menu and select Create shape from mesh:Īnother instance of the model will appear in the part list, with a wireframe highlight. Some details should appear in the lower left: Select the mesh by clicking it in the list on the left side of the window. Next, go to the File menu and select Open:įind your STL file and open it. Go to the View menu and select a Part workbench: ![]() I don’t know jack about FreeCAD, a cross-platform desktop CAD system, but it can be used to convert STL files to another format ( STEP) that can be successfully imported into Onshape. (Technically, it can indeed import any file type, but only for storage only select formats can be converted to an editable part studio.) It can import designs from various CAD formats, but it cannot import the ubiquitous STL format popular in the 3D printing world. Onshape is a sweet new parametric CAD system that runs in your browser. Import STL Models to Onshape Part Studios using FreeCAD
