Is it feasible to run this on something large like Solvespace[1] (CAD) which is ~5MB executable? Or would we just get an insanely long list of issues? [1] https://solvespace.com/index.pl There are hundreds of numerical algorithms in there, and we have some bugs that might be related to this kind of implementation error. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
If you want to quickly sketch and simulate the motion of linkages, I can recommend using Solvespace: https://solvespace.com/index.pl. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Https://solvespace.com/index.pl When you learn that completely and then outgrow it, you're probably going back to FreeCAD, or maybe blender with the CAD-sketcher addon. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
Give solvespace a try. It is very limited compared to the ones you listed. However I find it enjoyable, fun you may even say, to use. But I have to admit I would have a hard time using it professionally. https://solvespace.com/index.pl. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I know you posted in the Freecad sub but you could also consider Solvespace for your modeling needs. It's opensource and much lighter on your computer resources and still quite capable. For your 3D printing needs, it might be good enough. Source: almost 2 years ago
To add a bit to what others are saying. Mesh mixer is sometimes a great tool for some of this. Source: 9 months ago
Ah right. If you can't get the source file, you could try smoothing them out in meshmixer. Source: 11 months ago
The quickest fix I know is to use the free meshmixer. Source: about 1 year ago
There are programs such as Meshmixer specifically intended to do that, others such as Blender which can do a good job (but beware of missing surfaces or inside-out triangles) and some CAD programs such as Fusion 360 which have the ability to convert meshes. Even Tinkercad can make some changes. It's always better to get a CAD file in a common interchange format such as a STP (STEP) file if you can, though. Source: over 1 year ago
Meshmixer seems to be no longer in developement, with their integration of similar features with fusion360 according to their site https://meshmixer.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
