suggestion scan software

Hi,
I am scanning different parts with my ferret pro where I need a second scan to be sure that I have front and back scanned. the merge option in the scan software is super useful for that and does a really good job but I realised when I want to save the merged parts, I can only do this as a ply or asc file which is a problem because I can not import these file types into fusion 360.

I would have to convert these files on external homepages or so into an stl oder obj, which is basically possible if these converters can do it. but why isn’t there an option in the scan software to save the file or convert it and save it as a file which I can use in the most common 3d cad “common user” software (which is fusion 360).

The .asc is only availible as an export option when you have pointcloud selected


Make sure your in Mesh or Color mode to export .stl.
(eye open is the one selected, see pic.)

As DaVinci10 already said STL is also always an option, but if you have some PLY exports already you can also convert them with Blender for example.
