It's a knife handle, I made the faces in fusion 360 but that program is very weak and illogical when it comes to sculpting. Can solidworks build off these faces and sculpt the top if exported in .step files?

Hi Traps - Yes it can but may as well start again will be cleaner geometry. Does 360 have lofting? That would be the correct way to do this. Peter
If you can do it in Solidworks, you can do it in Fusion, as they are very similar.
It's more a matter of knowing how to do it, than if the software can do it.

I would start over, after viewing some videos to learn how to use Fusion 360.

The knife handle should be easy to model.

I've gone through 3 people on fiverr, none could do it and all had 4.9+ ratings for modelling, one more said "can't be done" and now I've got two more currently trying. No, sculpting is not easy in Fusion. I've looked up sculpting tutorials but they never start from a predefined face, they always start from a blob and shoehorn it into the model and the edges never meet cleanly the way I need it to. I need a face to cleanly transition into a sculpted body, yes it probably can be done but not by any sensible and logical means.
I noticed you made a prototype using some formable material.
I was a member of TechShop Detroit before they closed.
They had a scanner, which would be useful, and then import to your Cad program.
Might be the method to try.

Nothing in 3D modeling is easy if you've never done it before. Something like sculpting takes a lot of practice to get the hang of it.
Not sure I'd take much advice from someone who works for $5.
$5 is the minimum, I'm about to be refunded for over $100 because he couldn't do it, I also payed out over $40 because they worked really hard and wanted to keep trying but it wasn't going anywhere (I didn't have to pay but I thought it was the right thing to do). One currently underway has cost me $54. Maybe there's an excuse for it being so hard, but I just think sculpting is poorly integrated in Fusion that's why I opened the discussion in Solidworks to see if its worth me trying to sign up for their free program. I've used Maya years ago and from memory it was a lot more intuitive but that's not for this.Quote:

Yes, that can be sculpted in either Fusion or SW's.
Try contacting Lars Christensen
You likely don't live in Bangladesh. I earn $16hr, its a lot of money to me. It's not dimensionless, I of course provide the face giving all XY and hole positions as well as a top photo with measured Z. If you are saying that given that information and start and working at top tier rates you cannot complete it in an hour, I'm saying that sculpting in Fusion is rubbish.Quote:

You might also consider some of the other suggestions, for example it could very easily be modeled using a point cloud.
That can be modelled in Fusion rather easily using the "sculpt" menu. It use to be Tsplines but now they call is "Sculpt." It is quite easy.
I could also model that in solidworks but being organic I prefer the push and pull methods in a free form modeller (Sculpt, or Rhino) that don't keep a design tree.
Could you nade the model?
heres an obj file
i could retrieve of your picture
import into fusion in sculpt mode
then move nodes to get close to the original
holes you can subtract in solid mode
the issue with fusion that you cant splits faces easily
it is simpler to start in blender or hexagon,
both of them free
to achieving sharp edges in sculpt mode you select edge then right click crease edge in the upcoming menu
knife handle txt is an obj file please rename it
forum dont let upload with obj extension
try to post more pictures
from top to see contour better
and from the two end to see crosssections
