Fusion Personal - STL to Prismatic Solid

jai79 — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 08:25:32 GMT

I could not find a another program that can convert an STL to a parametric solid, unfortunately the free version does not allow it. Can anyone convert for me, it's just a hobby project but it would make my design process a lot easier to model.

@jai79

I recommend that you use this only as reference in creating parametric geometry from scratch.

It will be a good learning experience for you.

The problem is, the horn is not easy to model exact to measurements and curves, the design has been tested and I don't want to change it by trying to recreate it. I am already building the speaker bass cabinets and have learnt a lot already, but recreating this horn to exact measurements is not easy.

Who did the original design?

Can you ask the source of the intellectual property for the original CAD geometry rather than triangular planar faceted stl?

Edit: I also have IGS, can that be converted to a solid? (researching now, using stitch)

Stitch worked I now have one complete body

If you can share that design, we can provide more detailed feedback.
