Hi,
I want to ask if there is a possibility to merge two parts with indicating in which place?
Thank you

Hi Giedrius,
Do you want the merge done in software or to glue the physical parts after printing ?
tx,
Wim
Hi Wim,
I want to merge in software. I don’t want to print it separately. I’ll show you how it should be connected.
In the picture that was uploaded earlier, you can see green-marked places that I want to combine.
Thank you
Giedrius
Hi Giedrius,
If you upload the model in the position as shown in this image, I will have a look at it to see whether I can unify the 2 parts for you.
We usually don’t do this as there are several tools on the market you could use to do this.
But if it would be a simple unify operation, that is pretty easy.
So go to the upload section , log in and upload the model(s) , let me know when it is done and I will share the link with the unjifiedmodel.
Hi Wim,
the upload section? Where can I find this section?
Thank you
toWim,
I have uploaded files. In one STL file and separately.

Giedrius
I sent you the link to the model.
Please check it
Wim
Wim,
Yes, I see the model. Thank you.
Can you tell me, have you merged parts with Magics? If so, can you tell me how? That in the future I could do it myself.
Thank you,
Giedrius
Hi,
Yes, I used the alignment tool and unify function in Magics.
Wim,
Thank you, but can you explain a bit more precisely? What constraint did you use in first entity and in second? I can not connect the parts correctly.
Thank you Wim,
Giedrius
Hi Giedrius,
I used the line to line constraint to align the parts in parallel and then point - point coinciding , I think…
to be honest I don’t remember exactly.
I tried a few combinations.
The 3 point constraints didn’t do the trick for the initial positions you uploaded the parts.
Possibly I tried it again in a later stadium
Not being an expert in Magics, it was a bit of trial and error for me but it didn’t take long though
Wim
Wim,
Thank you so much for your help.
If possible, one more question. I used the Honeycomb tool for this figure. But some small part are not necessary. Look at the picture:
How do you delete unnecessary parts?
Wim, thanks again for your help.
Giedrius
Hi Giedrius,
nice !
Indicate the edges and use the hole filler ?
Or manually put triangles over the gaps and then use the automatic fix to clean up the part and check with the section viewer ?
Lots of ways to do this…
Wim,
I like the first option, but I can’t find, how can I Indicate the edges. Which tool should I use?
Thank you,
Giedrius
hi Giedrius,
I tried it myself… and came to the conclusion that you are better of by first removing the triangles around the gap and than run the autofix.
I made some screenshots…
first select the triangles to remove, then remove, then run autofix
Wim,
Once again, thank you Wim for the help.
Regards,
Giedrius
