traduttori x rhino

[Blizzard]

good evening, does anyone have experience with translation software to import .sat file type in rhino5?

I'm looking around, sometimes I get a file in .sat or in .xt, a nice annoyance must always ask the king to send in iges or in step....

Is there anything on the market that can cover this requirement?

thanks in advance!:smile:

on this site sell plugins to import .sat and .x_t (on the side menu other plugins)
http://www.datakit.com/cad-convertors/acis-to-rhino/1646-acis-3d-to-rhino.htmlI don't know them and I've never used them, so I'm not able to say whether they're valid or not.
considering the price of the two items (900 + 1200) I would say it is better to warn in advance the customers who provide you step or iges

maybe I understood bad but a .sat file (acis) is importable in autocad and rhino opens native autocad.

@ mariuss.r: thank you, I will evaluate those translators.

the problem is that often you go to work on files coming from customers who have to produce a particular but that are not the designers of the piece, and it is already a miracle that they are in possession of a mathematics (which often themselves are not even able to open....), and they can hardly afford to provide it in the format that it serves.

or, they can also succeed, but the operation involves biblical times....from here the need to read various native formats.

It's a bit of the story of the moldists, ultimately: it is found to be objectively "the weak link" of the chain, tightened between increasingly exasperated needs of timing, costs and technological needs, and customers of stories do not want to hear.

or you adapt, and you provide a "all-round" service, or you stay cut out.

it would be bad to say, but you have to arm yourself with so much, so much holy patience and...

problems come when working on different sectors, such as sheet metal and plastic, where the products are the most varied and the designers, when sending drawings in the production circuit, are not too careful to export in interchange formats: everyone claims to send in production what he has with the owner format of hiscad, and who is downstream of the filera must arrange.

I don't think I'm telling new things, the interchange of cad file is ancient..... .

I work in another sector, but I have similar problems. I think it's a matter of mentality, I think it's an approximate job in Italy. this has consequences on the product, but often the project managers do not have the skills to fulfill a good job. or even having skills, they do not use them because they know that their work will be judged "in other way" and not for the quality of the final product.

this of repercussions on the rest of the production chain, which sometimes manages to compensate and sometimes does not.

I don't know if I understood well, but rhino quietly matters the .sat, if then it is a particular legible file with difficulty, it is another question.
If you try Meshlab, it is an open source sw that manages scans and .sat, it also exports, so if there is a difficult .sat, maybe he digests it well, and exports it correctly for rhino, try it costs nothing.

 

[Blizzard]

thanks to you, enri, I try and then I let you know.

Bye.

 

[Blizzard]

then: I tried to install meshlab, but it does not open the files in .sat.

nice program, however, useful on many occasions.

Thanks again, enri!

I confirm however that my rhino (v5) does not open .sat.

 

[enri]

Damn sorry, I confused .sat with .stl! :
You're right of course, so meshlab has nothing to do with it, I hope you need it for other jobs.
sat is the usual format of kernl acis.
import 123d design http://www.123dapp.com/design of autodesk, free, you can export the solid format with dwg dxf, sat, step, do some tests, obviously excluding the sat, you can use step, but also dwg, once I imported in rhino an object in dwg, a faucet of a producer, and with my big surprise in rhino were perfect polynurbs, so it depends as to save the cad.

 

[Blizzard]

in fact meshlab can be useful on many occasions, given the variability with which the files that I then use to work.

I try to download the little program you posted then I'll let you know.

Many thanks!! !

 

[Blizzard]

It works!

installed and tried immediately: imported the file in .sat, exported in step, open with rhino perfectly.

not only: I tried to open a math, originally in .sat, which I had sent back from the client in step, then open it with rhino, which gave rise to some imperfection, while open with 123d and exported in step is perfectly open from rhino without any imperfection.

very, very good, thanks for the help!
