Teacher Request: Convert a mesh model to a nurbs model

QuadRemesh command

QuadRemesh features w links

Edit your meshes.  Clean up and/or simplify complex meshes.  Make sure they are 'closed meshes'. Then send them to your 3d printer as stl mesh.  Use 'preview' when making the mesh. 

QuadRemesh the Rhino Head  (video)    The short video to simplify the Rhino Head mesh. A good mesh to use to practice with the QuadRemesh tool.  Works well to 'clean up the mesh before making 'clipping sections' and 'creating drawings for laser cutting.  Download Rhino head model

Videos showing QuadRemesh and ToNurbs:

Brian James' "Secret Sauce" video:Mesh to Nurbs w QuadRemesh, etc
