In part 2 of this video series, Paul demonstrates the step-by-step process of reverse engineering the first component of the oil pump (cover/cap) from Scan to CAD using SOLIDWORKS and a plugin called Mesh2Surface. He’ll show you how to use a 3D mesh as a basis of design and his thought process behind the decisions that he makes while he creates the CAD model.
