Insert Surface And Extrude To it using Ilogic

[chrisrodway]

Hi Everyone,

I’m a design engineer for a company that make press tooling to manufacture parts. I am trying to automate the design process using Ilogic. I know the basics but the part I’m having trouble with is importing a surface.

Our process is to 3D scan the part which then gets a surface from this and extrude up to the actual surface.

Is there any way in ilogic to automate this process. Ideally I would like it to come up with a browse button you select the surface file .stp or .iges. Once the surface is in the part file it extrudes up to the surface from a plane.

Any Ideas Anyone

Cheers

Chris
