ADVANCED RHINO / NURBS TO MESH / REDUCE MESH / MESH TO POLYSURFACE

[@juliamanson5033]

This info is helpful if you have a complex model that you want to 3D print- you can change your object to a polymesh and then reduce to the maximum number allowed for 3d printing (shape ways allows a max 1000000)

If you know a lot about Rhino do people call you a computer nurb?

[@pannonianknight]

good one :D

@@DarthMonkey180 Hahahaha I can't believe people laughed at this XD

[@theeecandlemaker2197]

nice one

[@peterloring7361]

I don't think you need to make a nurbs surface into a mesh to 3D Print or CNC. Instead you need an STL file, which is a triangular mesh. You would make a nurbs surface into a mesh for sculpting, as you would in ZBrush or Mudbox.

[@NathanApffel]

A mesh also works fine for cnc

[@FerReyesCreative]

great explanation, but i have a question, could i modify the object when it is a mesh? i mean modeling or deforming the mesh as you did with the sphere? Gracias and great video

[@hrayrgaloyan5210]

Thanks a lot!

Hi, CAN SOMEBODY write the comands he wrote please, the quality video is bad

[@Anikbackward]

So I have this model where I want to increase the thickness of the form, but using offset surface did not work. I tried using this method you did but my file turns into a huge one. Is there a better way to increase the thickness of a complex form?

[@Ar.Raghav]

If thats only for a rendered output, then try the thickness option available in Object data properties in the right menu in Rhino 7

Hi, I don't know why but clicking the right Botton on the Polysrf from mash nothing happens and when I try to explode it says that 1 mash could not be exploded into multiple parts. Could you please tell me something in merit? Thank you

So if i create mesh i cannot edit the model ?for example how would.i extrude the mesh surface ?

[@Butanozl]

what's the point of making it into a mesh and to a polysurface?

[@autonotely]

if you want to make mesh into polysurface you can easily measure your 3d object

[@eldiegoasecas]

i can only think about making it low poly and then making it easily editable again

[@Butanozl]

@@eldiegoasecas correct me if i'm wrong, mesh is for 3d printing and polysurfaces are to edit them in rhino again? :) thanks for the replies guys much appreciated!

[@Reach3DPrinters]

I just brought a mesh from thingiverse into rhino, a pumpkin, and needed to install a base that interfaces a connector for led's. I turned the mesh into a poly surface so that I could boolean union the structural base onto the pumpkin mesh (now polysurface). Love Rhino, amazing tool.

omg i love u

[@shreenatha464]

Is this polygon mesh printed layer by layer ... if yes, how? if no, how? could anyone please explain ... Or is there a video on how these objects are printed

[@alializadeh8195]

thanx

[@NathanApffel]

the command is mesh
