Hello
I'm new around here.
I hope I have not wrong forum section (this forum is huge
I come immediately to the therefore, I would have a request for help.
I have to prototyp of the millivores executed in 3d (with softimage and zbrush), but not with a 3d printer, but through a cnc, or digging, in negative, a metal block that will then form the mold (usually two valves). this because the material with which the pieces will be produced in series is the classic plastic of the assembly kits
I contacted an Italian company that deals with these works, and they told me that to prepare a quote (which I already know to be exoso) they need to deliver a 3d file with the frame of the pieces already ready.
my neace problem from the fact that I require .step or .iges files, that I discover to be cad files (if I'm not mistaken the last one is the caia format), that I totally ignore. a friend of mine suggested that I import everything to rhinoceros, and then export to the format that it serves, but unfortunately the files I work with, are definitely dense of polygons. These are characters (soldatini, to understand us), that once put on softimage, and detailed in zbrush have a decidedly high weight (a million words and passes of polygons to soldiers, in a frame to assemble in rhino or any other program, there would go a dozen), and rhino fatigue not little, continuous lag that do not allow me at all to work (in rhino I should climb to the correct pieces). the trial that I discarded version 4 is 32-bit, and I don't find trial version for 64-bit.
would you recommend me a cad software capable of managing a high number of polygons in the 3d window and that it is able to export to the formats I indicated?
an early thanks
