Bend a finished mesh or body along a line

Anonymous

Hello everybody,

 

I'm trying to make a cellphone case holder for my laser printer.
At the company where I work, we have GOM scanner, and already scanned the inside of the case.
The only problem is, that the case were a little twisted without the phone and so the mesh got that problem too.

Is there any option to correct that twist/bend?
I guess something to wrap the mesh around a guideline, or give it a plus helical vector maybe?

Here you can see the bending in the model:

Maybe somehow wrap aroud this line?

I'm looking forward to your answers!


Regards, Andras

hello, there is no way, but with such simple shapes it is better to design a new volume body. scanning is okay, but not always the best. greetings mango

I completely agree with @mango.freund's post.

Also, Fusion 360 is a CAD software and as most CAD software goes not really the right software to perform modeling operations on Meshes.

I would use the scan only as reference (and calipers for measurements) in recreating proper geometry.

If you zoom in you will notice that there are no arcs, no curved faces - only straight lines and triangular planar surfaces.

Thank you guys for helping!

I thought there is a solution to work a bit less, but this is a solution to MY problem too!
