3D Scan to CAD in Fusion 360: Car Lamp Cap
Fusion 360 reverse engineering can turn even a rough 3D scan into a clean, usable CAD model. In this video, I redesign a car lamp washer cap from a shiny STL scan that was difficult to capture smoothly. The original file, abc.stl, was a car lamp washer cap with poor scan quality because of the reflective surface. Instead of only smoothing the mesh, I rebuilt the part in Fusion 360 using two different methods: a normal solid modeling workflow and a surface modeling workflow near the end. You will see how I align the scan, capture the main scan geometry, create reference sketches, use lofting, add fillets, extrude cuts, create surface sweeps, and patch surfaces to get a cleaner final CAD model. This tutorial is useful for Fusion 360 learners, mechanical designers, product designers, automotive CAD beginners, and anyone interested in reverse engineering car parts from 3D scans. The main goal is to show how to think through a damaged or imperfect scan and rebuild it into a cleaner, editable model.
