Those are mathematically precise descriptions of these objects and theoretically have infinite resolution down to the precision of the given CAD system. I've done it on several other components and some look even worse than this.Ī CAD program represents surfaces as analytical surfaces (shperes, Cylinders and other simple shapes) and as NURBS surfaces. It's pretty disconcerting to see it all (apparently) warped and melted when working on it i Meshmixer. So, why does it look so horrible within Meshmixer? It seems that Meshmixer does indeed have the data all correct. I then bring up that exported STL file in a simple STL file viewer and it looks like this:Īnd it all looks good, pretty much identical to what the original component looks like in Fusion. I then selected (without actually doing anything in Meshmixer to the component) to Export it out of Meshmixer as an STL file. And the two sides are also rather messed up. The bolt holes along the bottom are rather "melty" as well. Note the top, which in the original is a nice flat surface. The Meshmixer program pops up and displays the component, and it looks like this:Īnd it looks like it partly melted. I then select to do a Save As STL and in the dialog that pops up select to send it to Meshmixer. I start with one component of my design that looks like this when viewed in Fusion 360:
