I have a obj model that I imported and BRep and saved as stp. I am trying to get a manufacturers quote for making a silicone injection prototype but it appears that the model is not smooth enough of a surface. From here I reopened the file. Converted BRep to Mesh and used the Modify>Make Closed Mesh with the options "accurate" which appeared to close all the gaps and give it a Smooth look. But when i reconvert it to BRep it seems to go back to large triangular polygons with a no-longer-smooth look. I am new to this stuff but I must figure out how to do all this so I can go into the manufacturing phase. Suggestions would be appreciated. Am I not using the proper methods to get a rough looking model to a sleek and smooth solid?
