Impression of a solid

[Born to machine]

Hi,

Not sure if this is possible but a customer has given me a solid model of a part..

Can i say create a solid rectangle model that is bigger than the supplied model and make an inprint  into it of my supplied customer model?

Sort of a reverse imprint ..

Thanks

Hi,

you can accomplish this by creating 2 solid cubes larger than your part, then use the Boolean remove function to hollow out the interior of the solid cubes

Probably not. You can however try to thicken it if it is a surface converted into a sheet solid. If it is a closed sheet solid then convert to a surface model and then try to convert back to a solid from the surfaces using a loose tolerance.
