I've attached a few photos of the scan and my attempts but for the life of me I am unsure of how to achieve the design, I tried making the shape of the inner lofts and then shelling it to achieve a nice thickness for everything, but then the bodies do not want to merge due to zero thickness. I understand the function of what I am to design but every time I try to recreate the way the casting looks I end up with the ugliest shapes and forms before even reaching a point of wanting to split it in half to make it a 2 piece machining project It's basically a pipe between two flanges that splits into 3 inlets from one giant one. I want to reverse engineer a part, of which I have a 3D scan. I am facing an issue, I think I have reached a point where I feel like my skills are exhausted haha.

Model Based Definition (MBD) is leveraged to ensure machining strategies are automatically adjusted based on tolerance specifications. Reading tolerances and surface finishes will help you to make decisions about how to manufacture your product.

Rules-based MachiningĪutomatically apply best manufacturing strategies that you like to use so that manufacturing processes can be not only faster, but also more standardized. SOLIDWORKS CAM can find 20+ types of machinable features on parts, such as holes, slots, and pockets. Recognize certain types of geometry not only as CAD features, but to understand how much those features will be manufactured, and even how much it will cost to manufacture.
